What this record means
The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is a dead, cancelled registration on the Principal Register, owned by WELLS FARGO & COMPANY, a California corporation. The cancellation occurred because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration, and the last status update was on March 4, 2001. The mark covered services in class 039, specifically the transportation and storage of money, valuables, documents, packages, parcels, and freight, including armored or secured vehicle transport and vault storage. A similar name would raise the closest concern for businesses offering those same transportation or storage services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specified services. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 event appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the new use involves money or valuables transport or storage.
