WELLS FARGOSerial 72421363 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
Class 025 - Clothing
Filed Apr 14, 1972
The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is dead, having been 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 are uniforms, caps, rainwear, and uniform patches in class 025, with first use in 1852. Because the mark is no longer live, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the abandoned status means that the owner has not maintained the mark and the mark is not enforceable in the United States. The record contains no enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on May 28, 1986. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be using “WELLS FARGO” on clothing or apparel that could be confused with the abandoned uniform mark, though the abandoned status reduces the risk of immediate infringement.

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.
