No. The Outer Space Treaty states that outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means. The Treaty establishes the exploration and use of outer space as the "province of all mankind." The Moon Agreement expands on these provisions by stating that neither the surface nor the subsurface of the Moon, nor any part thereof, or natural resources in place, shall become property of any State, international intergovernmental or non-governmental organization, national organization or non-governmental entity or of any natural person.

The US has made no territorial claim on the moon and neither has any other country to date.
I suspect this is because such a claim would be hard and expensive to maintain and defend.

Hmmmm, good question... does it mean that the US claimed ownership of the moon since we planted our flag on the surface?

I guess it is still fair game. If you stake a claim to a plot, its yours.
