WELLS FARGO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is no longer active; it was cancelled on September 8, 2023 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is Wells Fargo & Company, a Delaware corporation. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for two classes: class 016, covering paper goods such as personal organizers, posters, bookmarks, paper napkins, note pads, stickers, and brochures with historical information, and class 028, covering jigsaw puzzles and manipulative puzzles. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those specific goods, especially paper‑based items and puzzles. The record does not give Wells Fargo control over every use of the wording, only within the listed classes. The prosecution history shows the mark was first registered in 2003, renewed in 2013, and later cancelled in 2023. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the goods listed still present a potential concern if the new use is in the same categories.
