What this record means
The record shows that the mark “GPT” is no longer active; it was cancelled on September 28 2002 because the registrant, Ghesquiere Plastic Testing, Inc., did not file a required declaration under Section 8. The mark was originally registered on December 22 1981 in the Principal Register, but the cancellation means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights. The goods or services listed in the record are not shown, so the closest concern would be any use that falls within the same industry or product line that the original owner was using when the mark was registered. Because the cancellation removes the registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. No opposition, extension, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status suggests a lower risk, but the original registration still indicates that the owner once claimed rights in a specific area, so caution is still advised.
