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. It protects the word on a list of specific goods: mugs, insulated mugs, coaster sets, portable coolers, grilling forks, spatulas and brushes, sport bottles sold empty, cookie cutters, insulating sleeve holders for beverages, and drinking glasses, first used in commerce in December 1968. A similar name used on any of those items would raise the closest concern, while use on unrelated products would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration with no Supplemental Register sequence. The latest event is the renewal of the registration on January 23, 2023. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. If you plan to use a similar name on these kinds of goods, you should be aware that the mark is active and could be enforceable.
