Owner: American Express Marketing & Development Corp.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Mar 27, 2020
Registered Jun 15, 2021
The record shows that “AMERICAN EXPRESS” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register, owned by American Express Marketing & Development Corp. The mark protects downloadable software for contactless payment terminals, loyalty credentials, and coupon redemption, first used in commerce on June 1, 2018. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same software and payment‑terminal context. The record does not give control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the specified goods and services. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration path with no descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register movement. The latest meaningful event is the registration on June 15, 2021, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using the same wording in contactless payment software could conflict with this active, principal‑register mark.
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.
