WELLS FARGOSerial 72421359 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
Class 013 -
Filed Apr 14, 1972
The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is dead and was abandoned after an appeal of the examining attorney’s final refusal. The owner listed is WELLS FARGO & COMPANY, a corporation organized in California. The only goods listed in the record are shotguns and carrying cases for them, with a first use date of 1852. Because the record only covers that narrow category, a similar name used for firearms or related accessories would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated fields would be farther from the specific scope shown. The record does not give control over every use of the wording. No enforcement activity—such as oppositions or cancellations—is visible in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on May 28, 1986. For someone considering a similar name, the primary risk lies in the firearms and carrying‑case market, where this abandoned mark still signals a prior 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.
