What this record means
The record shows that “WELLS FARGO” is a live, registered service mark owned by WFC HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. It is registered on the Principal Register with serial 75494657 and was renewed, with the latest status event being the renewal on April 19, 2011. The mark protects full‑service banking and related financial services, including personal investing, financial planning, investment consultation, automated teller machine services, electronic financial transaction card services, and online banking. A similar name would raise the closest concern for any use in those financial services, especially banking or electronic payment services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Wells” or “Fargo” in unrelated contexts. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the new use falls within the same financial services scope.
