WELLS FARGO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” was registered on the Principal Register in 1966 and is now dead because it was not renewed. The owner listed is WELLS FARGO & COMPANY, a corporation organized in Colorado. The only goods listed are toy pistols and holsters in class 028, so the closest concern would arise if a new mark were used for similar toy firearms or related items. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the wording; it only covers the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a single event in 1986 when the registration expired under Section 9, with no other opposition or enforcement activity recorded. Since the supplied history contains no visible enforcement signals, the record shows no active enforcement. If you are considering a similar name for toy firearms, this history suggests a meaningful concern in that narrow area.
