G-MAX

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “G‑MAX” was once registered on the Principal Register but is now dead because the owner, Continental Tire the Americas, LLC, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered land motor vehicle parts such as shock absorbers, coil springs, leaf springs, trailing arms, sway bars, torsion bars, and struts, excluding brake components. A similar name used for those specific suspension components would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the goods listed. The prosecution history shows the mark was allowed, renewed, and eventually cancelled in February 2019, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation on February 14, 2019. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the mark’s prior registration could still influence perception or create confusion for those suspension parts.
