What this record means
The record shows that the mark “GPT” was registered on the Principal Register in 1987 for protective apparatus for the head and face, including respirators, safety spectacles, safety lenses, goggles, helmets, and hearing protectors. The owner is BACOU‑DALLOZ EYE & FACE PROTECTION, INC., a Delaware corporation. The status is dead; the registration was cancelled in 2008 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “GPT.” The goods listed in the record are the closest area of concern; a new name that also refers to protective headgear or related safety equipment would raise the highest risk. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the cancellation on May 23, 2008. If you are considering a similar name for safety gear, this history suggests a meaningful concern that should be examined carefully.
