GPT

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “GPT” was a live, registered certification mark owned by GHESQUIERE PLASTIC TESTING, INC., a Michigan corporation. It was registered on May 21, 1974, but the registration expired on February 27, 1995 because it was not renewed. The goods or services listed in the record are not provided, so the only visible concern is that the mark was used in commerce under a certification mark basis. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “GPT.” The prosecution history shows a standard registration process with no descriptive refusal or Supplemental Register movement. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest record‑based concern is that the expired mark was once used as a certification mark, so any new use in a related field might still raise a potential similarity issue.
