META

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “META” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Meta Platforms, Inc., a Delaware corporation. It covers communication services, specifically encrypted electronic transmission and delivery of recovered data, first used on November 30 2021. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same field of encrypted data transmission. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “META”; it is limited to the goods and services listed. The prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and registration process with no descriptive refusal or Supplemental Register steps. The most recent event is the Notice of Registration Confirmation emailed on January 21 2025, confirming the mark’s active status. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For anyone considering a similar name, the presence of this active Principal Register registration in the same technical field suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
