AMERICAN EXPRESSSerial 86191741 · Principal Register
Live · Registered
Owner: American Express Marketing & Development Corp.
Class 036 - Insurance & Financial
Filed Feb 12, 2014
Registered Sep 09, 2014
The record shows that “AMERICAN EXPRESS” is a live, registered service mark owned by American Express Marketing & Development Corp. The mark is on the Principal Register and covers the service of issuing stored‑value cards under class 036, which is insurance and financial services. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class, specifically for services that involve issuing stored‑value cards or related financial products. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it applies only to the listed services in that class. There is no prosecution history indicating a descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register move, so the mark was accepted as is. The most recent maintenance event is the renewal noted for October 30, 2024. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful concern for use in the same financial services context.
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.
