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 goods covered are magnetic encoded cards, integrated‑chip cards, charge cards, bank cards, credit cards, debit cards, chip cards, stored‑value cards, electronic data carrier cards, and related payment‑processing software and services, all used in commerce since December 31, 2012. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the payment‑card and electronic‑payment services space, while use in unrelated industries would be farther from the specific scope shown. The record does not grant control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration with no supplemental‑register sequence. The latest status event is the acceptance of Sections 8 and 15 declarations on July 29, 2026, with the next relevant date being the next Section 8 renewal in 2028. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is significant in payment‑card and related services.
