What this record means
The record shows that the mark “AMERICAN EXPRESS” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 87880374, owned by American Express Marketing & Development Corp., a Delaware corporation. The registration covers services in classes 035, 036, and 039, including business development, banking and payment card services, and travel agency services. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same service areas, especially where credit card or travel services are involved. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it applies only to the listed goods and services. The prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and registration, with no Supplemental Register steps. The most recent event is the registration on May 24, 2022. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in any of the listed service categories could trigger a potential infringement claim.
