WELLS FARGO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “WELLS FARGO” is live and registered on the Principal Register under class 036, covering services such as providing grants and financial support to charitable, community, and educational organizations for affordable housing, environmental, philanthropic and academic initiatives, and financial sponsorship of sporting, music and entertainment events. The owner is Wells Fargo & Company, a Delaware corporation. Because the registration is on the Principal Register, the mark does not automatically control every use of the wording, but it does give priority for the specific services listed. The latest status event is the registration on August 9, 2022, and no further maintenance dates are supplied. The prosecution history shows a smooth allowance and registration process with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. For someone looking to use a similar name, the closest concern would be in the same charitable‑grant and event‑sponsorship services; otherwise the risk is lower but not eliminated.
