[Quote]The social networking giant Facebook is a few steps away from trademarking the word face, online documents reveal.
The site has been asked to detail a "statement of use" by the US Patent and Trademark Office, explaining how it intends to use the word.
If granted, the trademark will only apply to online sites and services used to exchange messages.
It could limit the use of the word in other social networks and services, such as Apple's Facetime, lawyers said. [/Quote]

Couldn't see a thread about it, sorry if it is late.
Think this will cause a problem with Facepunch?
Welcome to 2009. May I take your coat?
Latebook looks to trademark "Late"
Seems extremely frivolous if you ask me, i mean come on, its the word [B]Face.[/B]
And yes Garry was sued and Hezzy is now Garry.
I'm going to trademark "punch," and join Zuckerberg.
Enjoy your double-penetration lawsuit, Garry.
