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. The mark covered transportation of goods, commodities, farm products, equipment and machinery by trucking, class 039. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the trucking and freight transportation field, especially for services that move goods or equipment. This record does not give control over every use of the wording; it only reflects the abandoned application’s scope. The prosecution history shows a final refusal mailed in November 1997, followed by an abandonment in July 1998. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful concern in trucking services, but the mark’s abandonment means the owner no longer holds this specific registration.
