GMA GARNET

What this record means

The record shows that the mark GMA GARNET has been cancelled, so it is not a live registration; the owner listed is GMA Garnet Pty Ltd., an Australian corporation. The registration covered only class 003 goods – “garnet abrasive grains and powders for use as an abrasive in sand‑blasting, grinding, polishing and high pressure cutting” – and the first use was dated January 1990. Because the protection was limited to those abrasive products, a similar name used for cosmetics, cleaning supplies, or any unrelated merchandise would present a much farther concern than the specific abrasive market shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “GARNET.” The latest meaningful event was the cancellation on Feb 11 2022 for failure to file a required Section 8 declaration, and no opposition or court actions appear in the history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market abrasive‑type products under a similar name, but the risk drops sharply for other categories.
