G MACHINE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “G MACHINE” is no longer active; it was cancelled on February 25, 2006 because the registrant, G‑Machine, Inc., a California corporation, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on May 21, 1985 for goods in class 012, specifically shock absorbers, struts, sway bars and suspensions for automobiles and trucks. A similar name would raise the closest concern for those automotive suspension components, as that is the only goods description listed. The record does not give the mark control over any other uses of the wording. The prosecution history shows the mark was initially approved for publication, published for opposition, and then registered; no supplemental register steps are involved. The last significant event was the cancellation in 2006, and no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone thinking of a similar name, the risk is that using “G MACHINE” for automotive suspension parts could conflict with this cancelled registration, while other unrelated uses would be farther from the specific scope shown.
