Is it legal to name a company something like "Wells Fargo security boxes"?

Is it legal to name a company something like "Wells Fargo security boxes"?

?

It can depend. Wells Fargo might have registered/trademarked the name, and since they're a large company, they probably have. If, for example, Wells Fargo was a small security company, and you wanted to call your company "Wells Fargo Hot Dogs" you could probably do it, because they need to prove that a consumer could reasonably confuse or associate you with the other company.

I suspect that might constitute illegally using the trademark or trade name of another company. There are usually registries that check for business names and they would also be able to tell you what sorts of names are legal and what sorts are not.
