What this record means
The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is no longer live; it was cancelled on July 22, 2024 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 class 008, covering hand tools such as ice scrapers first used in 1999. A similar name used for other hand tools or related goods would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific protection for those ice‑scraper tools. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially registered with combined Section 8 and 9 filings, then renewed, and finally cancelled after the Section 8 renewal deadline was missed. No opposition, cancellation, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are considering a similar name for hand tools, this record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
