GMASerial 76263870 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: GARMIN LTD.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed May 29, 2001
The record shows that the GMA application filed by GARMIN LTD., a corporation organized in the Cayman Islands, is dead; it was abandoned on March 25 2022 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The only goods listed are “electronic communication and navigation instrumentation in the field of avionics” in International Class 009, so a similar name used for anything like aircraft navigation systems, avionics hardware, or related electronic devices would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give GARMIN control over every possible use of the letters GMA, only over the specific avionics‑related description shown. The prosecution history notes a non‑final action mailed on August 9 2001, assignment to an examiner on July 26 2001, and the final abandonment on March 25 2002, with no later maintenance filings or enforcement actions appearing. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a mark in the same avionics space, 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.
