Facebook Patents Word “Face”  Facebook’s been trying to register the word “face” as a trademark for a while, but now the US Patent Office has finally decided to grant the social network’s application. Here are the details of what happened. A short time ago, Facebook took over the trademark application for “Face” from a company who operated a site called Faceparty.com. This particular application was opposed by Aaron Greenspan—the fellow who took Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to court over the creation of Facebook—but now has been granted a Notice of Allowance by the USPTO anyway.
