GMA

What this record means

The record shows that GMA is a cancelled Principal Register registration (status “dead”) owned by Muller Martini Mailroom Systems, Inc.; its registration was cancelled on March 14 2014 because the owner did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark was limited to Class 007 covering machinery for handling printed products such as newspapers, magazines and booklets—including packaging, inserting, storing, bundling, transporting machines and hoppers used with those machines. A later filing that uses the same letters for anything outside that narrow set of printing‑related equipment would be the closest record‑based concern, but the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “GMA.” The prosecution history shows a normal examination, publication for opposition in May 2003 and registration in August 2003, followed by the eventual Section 8 cancellation. No oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name for comparable printing‑equipment, but the risk is limited to that specific machinery category.
