What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FACEBOOK” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Meta Platforms, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The registration, granted on September 27, 2022, covers virtual, augmented, and mixed‑reality headsets and helmets for playing electronic and interactive multimedia games, as well as a broad array of video‑game‑related devices and accessories. A similar name used in these or closely related categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Meta control over every use of the word “Facebook”; it is limited to the goods listed. No Supplemental Register status appears, so the usual Supplemental Register examination sequence is not relevant. The latest maintenance event is the notice of registration confirmation on September 27, 2022. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in virtual‑reality gaming hardware or related accessories could conflict with this active registration.
