WELLS FARGO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is dead and was abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is a corporation organized in Delaware, but no name is provided. No goods or services are listed in the record, so the scope of the abandoned mark is unknown from this file. Because the mark was never registered, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any class of goods or services. The prosecution history shows only a non‑final action mailed and correspondence received, with no further examination or amendment. The last event recorded is the abandonment on September 7, 1984, and no later maintenance or enforcement actions appear. For someone looking to use a similar name, the only visible concern is that a Delaware corporation once applied for the mark, but the abandonment and lack of registration mean there is no active claim to enforce.
