WELLS FARGO
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is dead and cancelled 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 024, covering golf towels and beach towels first used in 1999. A similar name used for those same kinds of towels would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific registration for those goods. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially accepted and registered, with a Section 8 renewal in 2014 and a later Section 8 cancellation in 2024. No opposition, cancellation, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of a similar name for towels, this record suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with the former Wells Fargo mark.
