What this record means
The record shows that the mark “PORTFOLIO BY WELLS FARGO SIGNATURE” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Wells Fargo & Company, did not file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was on the Principal Register and covered banking services and checking account services in class 036. A similar name used in those same financial services would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated industries would be farther from the scope shown. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights, and the history shows no opposition, cancellation, or court action. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on July 11, 2022. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests that while the mark is no longer active, the specific phrase remains associated with Wells Fargo’s financial services, so caution is warranted if the new use is in that same field.
