GCB SHOCK ABSORBER

What this record means

The record shows that “GCB SHOCK ABSORBER” is a cancelled registration on the Principal Register, owned by G.C.B. Special Forks s.r.l., a corporation organized in Italy. The mark covered suspension systems for bicycles and motorcycles, specifically shock absorbers, first used in 1987. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of vehicle parts, especially shock absorbers. The cancellation occurred because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration in 2011, the last maintenance event. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. Because the mark is cancelled, it no longer grants exclusive rights, but the historical registration still signals that the owner once claimed protection over that specific product line. Anyone considering a similar name should be aware that the earlier registration could still influence perceptions of similarity in that niche.
