WELLS FARGO

What this record means

The record shows that “WELLS FARGO” is a dead, expired service mark that was once registered on the Principal Register under serial 72231791. The owner listed is Wells Fargo & Company. The mark covered travel agency services, a class that is fairly specific. A new name that is very similar and used for travel‑agency‑related services would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. Because the mark has expired, it no longer provides protection, but the history still indicates that the owner once claimed rights in that particular area. The prosecution history shows a renewal under section 9 that failed, and no other maintenance events are recorded. There are no visible enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations in the supplied data. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests that while the mark is no longer active, the owner’s prior claim in travel agency services could still be a point of caution if the new use overlaps that area.
