GMA

What this record means

The record shows that “GMA” is a live Principal Register registration owned by the Consumer Brands Association, a non‑stock corporation organized in Virginia, and it covers paper goods and printed matter such as trade‑association newsletters, industry reports, surveys, books, pamphlets, advertising brochures, flyers and related conference or seminar materials aimed at manufacturers and processors of food and non‑food products; a similar name used on comparable publications would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that narrow scope fall farther from the listed goods and do not automatically fall under this registration. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the letters “GMA.” The most recent meaningful event is the February 8 2018 notice that the registration was accepted and renewed for a second ten‑year period under Sections 8 and 9, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name that will appear on similar industry newsletters or related printed materials.
