AMERICAN EXPRESS
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
What this record means
The record shows that “AMERICAN EXPRESS” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register owned by American Express Marketing & Development Corp. The mark covers a wide range of financial and travel‑related services, including charge and credit card services, travelers’ checks, money orders, international and military banking, electronic funds transfer, insurance underwriting, and travel agency services such as ticket and tour arrangements, hotel reservations, and car rentals. A similar name would raise the closest concern in any of these areas, especially where the name is used to promote or sell financial products or travel services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it applies only to the goods and services listed. No prosecution history or enforcement activity appears in the supplied data. The latest status event is the renewal noted on April 20, 2016. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active, broad‑scope registration suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in related financial or travel services.
