GMA MUSICSerial 78616148 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: GMA Music, Inc.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Apr 25, 2005
The record shows that “GMA MUSIC” is an abandoned application, not a live or registered mark, and the listed owner is GMA Music, Inc., a California corporation. The filing was for International Class 009 covering “musical sound recordings,” so the closest area of concern would be any other source using the same name for recorded music or similar audio content. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “GMA” or “Music” in unrelated fields. The prosecution history indicates the USPTO issued a non‑final office action in November 2005, the application was assigned to an examiner, and a notice of abandonment was mailed on June 27 2006 because the applicant failed to respond; that abandonment is the most recent status event. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the file, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to use the same name for music recordings, but the risk is limited to that specific class.
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.
