What this record means
The record shows that the mark “WHATSAPP” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by WHATSAPP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The registration covers a broad range of goods and services, including smartphone cases, mobile accessories, jewelry pins, printed books and educational materials, mugs and beverage containers, clothing for all ages, online communication and photo‑sharing services, electronic publishing, and software‑development resources. A similar name would raise the closest concern in any of these areas, especially in mobile accessories, online social networking, or apparel. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “WhatsApp” in unrelated contexts. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The latest status event is the registration date of August 26, 2025, and the next consequential date is not provided. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration suggests a meaningful risk of infringement in the listed goods and services.
