GMASerial 75836206 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Geophysical Micro Computer Applications (International) Ltd.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Class 035 - Advertising & Business
Filed Oct 29, 1999
The record shows that the GMA mark is dead, having been abandoned on October 30 2003 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the owner listed is Geophysical Micro Computer Applications (International) Ltd., a Canadian corporation. The registration covered Class 009 for computer software that develops and supplies geophysical, geological and petro‑physical programs used to locate and exploit crude oil and natural gas reserves, and an inactive Class 035 entry for “operation of a business dealing.” A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if you are offering software or services in the oil‑and‑gas exploration field, because that is the specific scope the record describes. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the letters GMA in other industries or contexts. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply shows the application’s assignment, a non‑final action, a reinstatement, and ultimately the abandonment. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so no enforcement signals are visible. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use GMA for similar scientific or energy‑related software, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
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.
