WELLS FARGOSerial 72284151 · Principal Register
Dead · Expired
Owner: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
Class 038 - Communication Services
Filed Nov 06, 1967
Registered Sep 09, 1969
The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is a dead, expired registration on the Principal Register, owned by WELLS FARGO & COMPANY, a Delaware corporation. The mark covered the specific service of “central station protective services employing communications to monitoring personnel” in class 38, which is a narrow, technical communication‑services activity. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Wells Fargo” in other contexts. The prosecution history indicates that the mark was registered in 1969, renewed once in 1990, and then expired in 2000; no further maintenance or renewal events appear. There are no recorded oppositions, cancellations, or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of using a similar name for a service that is not a monitoring‑communications service, the closest concern would be this narrow, now‑expired service mark, but the record does not suggest a broader claim.

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.
