GMA FORUMSerial 75739301 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: GROCERY MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Jun 29, 1999
Registered Sep 19, 2000
The record shows that “GMA FORUM” is a cancelled Principal Register registration (status dead) owned by Grocery Manufacturers Association, a Delaware corporation, and it was cancelled on April 22 2011 because the registrant did not file an acceptable Section 8 declaration to maintain the mark. The registration covered only Class 016 – printed matter, specifically publications aimed at manufacturers and processors of food and non‑food products and members of the grocery manufacturers industry. A similar name used for any kind of printed or publishing material aimed at that same audience would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories such as food products, software, or services fall farther from the scope shown. The history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions, so the supplied file shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a publication targeting food‑industry manufacturers, because the cancelled registration still signals that the owner once claimed that niche.
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.
