What this record means
The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is a dead, cancelled service mark owned by WFC HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. It was registered on March 7, 2000 for insurance and financial services, specifically investment services, investment advice and consultation, and mutual fund investment. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same field of investment and financial services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the listed services. The mark was on the Principal Register, not the Supplemental Register, so no descriptive refusal or amendment sequence is shown. The latest maintenance event was a cancellation under Section 8 on October 22, 2021, and no further dates are supplied. No oppositions, extensions of time to oppose, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific investment‑services scope still presents a potential concern if the new use is in that same area.
