WELLS FARGO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is no longer active; it was cancelled on August 9, 2024 because the registrant, Wells Fargo & Company, did not file a required declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register for class 024, covering golf towels, beach towels, and blankets first used in 1994. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same class, where the goods are towels and blankets for sporting or leisure use. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific protection for those goods. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially granted, renewed, and later cancelled under Section 8; no Supplemental Register steps are involved. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For anyone thinking of using a similar name in the towel or blanket market, the record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict with this cancelled mark’s prior registration.
