GMASerial 76400500 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Gospel Music Association
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Apr 25, 2002
The record shows that the “GMA” mark is dead – it was abandoned after an appeal of the examining attorney’s final refusal, with the last status update on May 24 2005, and the owner listed as Gospel Music Association, a Tennessee corporation. The registration covered only educational and entertainment services related to gospel music, specifically seminars, exhibitions, conferences, workshops, gospel‑music shows and award incentives. A similar name used in that same niche would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside gospel‑music education or entertainment fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the letters GMA. No prosecution history or enforcement actions appear, and there are no further maintenance or renewal dates in the data. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a gospel‑music‑focused brand, but the risk lessens 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.
