GMAILSerial 78394440 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: CENCOURSE, Inc.
Class 038 - Communication Services
Filed Mar 31, 2004
The record shows that the mark “GMAIL” is dead and was abandoned after an inter‑parts decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The owner listed is CENCOURSE, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The mark covered the service class 038, which includes the delivery of messages, data and information by electronic transmission over global computer networks and mobile phones. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of electronic communication services, especially online messaging or email services. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Gmail” in all contexts; it only reflects the specific services listed. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially approved for publication on the Principal Register, then abandoned after opposition. No enforcement actions such as oppositions, cancellations, or court proceedings are visible in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the close match in electronic communication services still presents a meaningful concern.

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.
