GMASerial 75083171 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Grocery Manufacturers of America, Inc.
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Apr 03, 1996
Registered Mar 11, 1997
The record shows the GMA mark is cancelled and listed as “dead” after the registrant, Grocery Manufacturers of America, Inc., failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, with the cancellation dated December 13 2003; it was originally registered on the Principal Register on March 11 1997. The protection that existed covered only paper‑goods and printed‑matter services in class 016, specifically trade‑association newsletters, industry reports, surveys, books, pamphlets, advertising brochures and related conference or seminar materials aimed at manufacturers and processors of food and non‑food products. Because the claim is limited to those printed‑matter services, a similar name used for unrelated goods—say, food products, software, or apparel—would be farther from the scope shown here, though the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of “GMA.” The prosecution history shows a normal examination, publication for opposition and registration, followed by the later Section 8 cancellation; no oppositions, cancellations by others, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same paper‑goods niche, but the risk drops sharply for dissimilar categories.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
