PORTFOLIO BY WELLS FARGO SELECT

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “PORTFOLIO BY WELLS FARGO SELECT” 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 held on the Principal Register for services in class 036, specifically banking services and checking account services. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same financial services area, especially for banking or checking account offerings. This history does not give Wells Fargo control over every use of the words “portfolio” or “select” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and subsequent abandonment, with no opposition, cancellation, or court action recorded. The last significant event was the abandonment notice on July 11, 2022. For anyone thinking of a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the specific banking services remain a potential point of concern.
