Ok so wednesday the Trademark Office approved Facebook’s application to register “Face” as a brand for online chat rooms and electronic bulletin boards So whats the deal with this you ask? Well dont worry it doesn’t mean that Weezy and Juelz can’t make another “I Can’t Feel my Face” Mixtape, it’s more precautionary for websites, like a UK Site that does business as “Faceparty.com, which originally applied for  the “Face” Trademark on December 1, 2005 by the company called CIS Internet Limited. The original application covered everything from festival planning to dating services to text message systems, and around October of 2008 CIS filed to split the various categories up into separate applications(one of which was for online chat rooms). That application was then immediately taken over by Facebook on November 7, and on November 17 Facebook officially swapped in its attorney. Two years later, here we are. That looks to us like Facebook’s trademark team saw another social networking company go after the “Face” mark and decided to cut a deal to avoid any conflict in the future. Facebook hasn’t yet filed the Statement of Use required to actually register the mark, so it’s not like they’re doing much more than holding onto it right now. But we will keep you Updated if a legal battle jumps off over this!!!
