GIGCITY

What this record means

The record shows that GIGCITY is a cancelled Principal Register service mark owned by George Almasi; the registration was cancelled on September 12 2009 because the required Section 8 declaration was not filed. The mark was limited to class 042, specifically “providing temporary use of on‑line non‑downloadable software for use in music‑related information retrieval,” so a similar name used for that kind of web‑based music‑info service would be the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Almasi control over every use of the word “GIGCITY” in other industries or contexts. The prosecution history shows the mark moved through normal examination, was allowed and registered on the Principal Register, and later fell into cancellation for lack of a Section 8 filing. No oppositions, cancellations by a third party, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable online music‑service under the same name.
