What this record means
The record shows that the mark “WHATSAPP” is dead and abandoned. WhatsApp LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, filed the application on February 14, 2022, but the owner never filed a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance on June 6, 2023, so the mark was abandoned on July 13, 2026. The mark was on the Principal Register and covers downloadable software for managing electronic payment transactions, electronic money transfers, electronic wallets, and related electronic payment services. A similar name would raise the closest concern for software that facilitates electronic payments or money transfers, especially if the software is downloadable. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “WhatsApp.” No enforcement activity—such as oppositions or cancellations—appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, but the goods listed still represent a close area of concern.
