What this record means
The record shows that “WELLS FARGO” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register, owned by Wells Fargo & Company, a Delaware corporation. The mark covers all‑purpose sport bags, backpacks, duffel bags, tote bags, briefcases, computer bags, business card cases, cell phone carriers, fanny packs, umbrellas, and luggage tags. A similar name used on any of those items would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Wells Fargo control over every use of the wording, only over the goods listed. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration with no Supplemental Register involvement. The latest maintenance event was the acceptance of Section 8 and 9 renewal filings on September 27, 2022, confirming the mark’s continued active status. No enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict if the name is used on comparable bags or related accessories.
