Dead · Refused
Owner: Good Manufacture America Inc.
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Class 021 -
Filed Sep 01, 2017
The record shows that the mark GMA is dead – it was abandoned on August 21, 2018 after the applicant, Good Manufacture America Inc., failed to answer an Office action, and the record contains no later maintenance activity. The filing covered paper napkins, disposable towels, toilet paper, paper and plastic shopping bags, compostable food containers, as well as plastic cups, plates, lids, bowls, containers, drinking straws and chopsticks, all listed in classes 016 and 021. A later filing that uses the same wording for similar paper‑goods or plastic‑food‑service items would run into the closest record‑based concern, because those goods are exactly what the abandoned application claimed. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of “GMA,” especially in unrelated product categories. The prosecution history shows an examiner’s amendment in January 2018 followed by a non‑final office action and ultimately an abandonment notice; no oppositions or cancellations appear, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a mark in the same paper‑goods or disposable‑plastic space.
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.
