What this record means
The record shows that the mark “INSTAGRAM” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Instagram, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. It covers services in classes 035 and 036, specifically online marketplaces and advertising services, as well as electronic payment and financial transaction processing services. A similar name used for comparable online marketplace, advertising, or payment services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Instagram” in all contexts. No supplemental register or opposition history appears, and the latest status event is the February 15, 2025 status date. There is no visible enforcement activity in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using it for online marketplace, advertising, or payment services could conflict with this active registration.
