WELLS FARGO AUTOMOTIVE ADVANTAGE

What this record means

The record shows that “WELLS FARGO AUTOMOTIVE ADVANTAGE” is a live, registered service mark owned by Wells Fargo & Company, a Delaware corporation. It is on the Principal Register and covers the issuance of credit cards, credit card transaction processing services, and credit card payment processing services under class 036. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the financial services area, especially where credit‑card or payment processing is involved. The record does not give Wells Fargo control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the specified services. The prosecution history shows a standard acceptance of Sections 8 and 15 declarations, with no special Supplemental Register sequence. The latest maintenance event was the acceptance of the 6‑year Section 8 declaration on December 31, 2024, and the next relevant date is the status date of December 31, 2024. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using it in credit‑card or payment processing services could create a meaningful concern.
