WELLS FARGO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is dead; the application was abandoned on May 11 1983 because the applicant failed to respond or filed a late response. The owner listed is Hamilton Watch Co., Inc., a corporation organized in Pennsylvania, and the mark was filed on December 31 1980 under a use‑in‑commerce basis for watches and clocks in class 014. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not grant control over the wording in any context. The closest area of concern would be the sale or display of watches or clocks, where a similar name might raise the same descriptive objection that led to abandonment. No enforcement activity—such as oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is recorded. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment in 1983. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is limited to potential confusion in the watch and clock market, but the mark’s dead status means it no longer poses a legal barrier.
