WELLS FARGOSerial 72422920 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed May 01, 1972
The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is no longer active; it was abandoned after an appeal of the examining attorney’s final refusal. The owner listed is WELLS FARGO & COMPANY, a California corporation. The only goods listed are portable strong boxes, carrying bags, sacks, cartons, and envelopes for money, class 016, with first use in 1852. Because the record covers only these specific money‑handling containers, a similar name used for unrelated goods or services would be a farther concern, though the wording “WELLS FARGO” itself is still protected in that narrow field. No enforcement activity—such as oppositions or cancellations—appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on May 28, 1986. For someone considering a similar name, the closest record‑based concern lies in the money‑handling container market, and the abandoned status does not remove the risk of infringement in that narrow area.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
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.
