WELLS FARGO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is no longer active; it was cancelled on August 22, 1990 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is Wells Fargo & Company, a corporation organized in California. The only goods listed are ash trays, with use in commerce beginning April 22, 1964. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the cancellation means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights in that specific class of goods. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording “Wells Fargo” in other contexts or classes. No oppositions, extensions of time to oppose, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation itself. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be using the mark on ash trays or related products; otherwise the risk is lower, but the mark’s prior registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in that narrow area.
