GPT GREAT PLAINS TRANSPORTATION, INC.

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “GPT GREAT PLAINS TRANSPORTATION, INC.” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is GREAT PLAINS TRANSPORTATION, INC., a corporation organized in Nebraska. The mark covered interstate and intrastate transportation of goods, commodities, farm products, equipment, and machinery under class 039. A similar name used for transportation services in the same or related industries would raise the closest record‑based concern. This history does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific transportation services listed. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in February 1996, assignment to an examiner, and eventual abandonment in September 1996. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied record. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, but the specific transportation services listed remain a potential point of concern.
