What this record means
The record shows that the mark “SHOCK MASTER” is no longer live; it was cancelled on January 29, 2016 because the registrant, G SQUARED, INC., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on April 21, 1992 in the Principal Register for class 13 goods, specifically buttplate and comb assemblies for shoulder firearms. A similar name used for those same or closely related firearm accessories would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific protection that existed for those goods. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration and renewal sequence with no Supplemental Register steps. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 event appear in the supplied history. 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 that specific firearm accessory niche.
