WELLS FARGOSerial 72245640 · Principal Register
Dead · Expired
Owner: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
Class 042 - Scientific & Technology Services
Filed May 13, 1966
Registered Oct 31, 1967
The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is a dead, expired service mark owned by WELLS FARGO & COMPANY, a Delaware corporation. It was registered on October 31, 1967 and expired on August 2, 2008 because the owner did not renew it. The mark covered restaurant services under class 042, with first use in 1963. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the restaurant or related hospitality services, since that is the only goods or services listed. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the wording; it only shows rights in that specific class. The prosecution history shows a notice of suit in 2012 and a cancellation of the 10‑year renewal in 2008, but no other enforcement activity. Because the mark is no longer active, the supplied history shows no visible enforcement signals. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is limited to the restaurant services area, but the mark’s expiration means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights.

The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
