WELLS FARGO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is no longer live; it was cancelled on January 8, 2005 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is WELLS FARGO & COMPANY, a Delaware corporation. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 012 goods, specifically armored truck and structural parts such as safes, strong boxes, trucks, and cars. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of armored vehicle parts and related safety equipment. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; the record only shows that the specific goods in class 012 are no longer protected. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially accepted on the Principal Register and later cancelled; no Supplemental Register activity is involved. The last significant event was the cancellation in 2005, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful concern in the armored vehicle and safety equipment market.
