What this record means
The record shows that “WELLS FARGO PREMIER” is a live, registered service mark owned by Wells Fargo & Company, a Delaware corporation. It is registered on the Principal Register, having been filed on August 25 2021 and registered on April 11 2023. The mark protects banking services and financial services, specifically financial management, investment advisory services, and estate planning, as listed in class 036. A similar name would raise the closest concern for any use in those same financial services. The record does not give Wells Fargo control over every use of the word “Premier” in all contexts. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of examination, statement of use, and allowance, with no indication of a Supplemental Register. The latest event is the registration confirmation on April 11 2023, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in the financial services area.
