: Facebook LIke Button Feature I have a made a social networking website similar to Facebook. In Facebook, there is a LIKE Button feature that they have implemented it. Can I also use the Same

@Jessie594

Hmm, I think you may be in the clear as far as using the word "like". If they had it protected, there would be a ™ or something similar on all their buttons and they would speak of the protection of the word in their branding found at www.facebookbrand.com/.
On their brand useage PDF it speaks of it in scope of an image and says the following:

"Don't Substitute the Like Button logo for the word ‘Like’"

So it seems they probably protected the image of the word "like", or hold the "look" of it as intellectual property, but nothing is said further about the use of the word in regards to unrelated platforms. It's up to you whether you challenge this theory in a production social network :)
