What this record means
The record shows that the mark GMA LIFE TV is abandoned, with the last status change on September 18 2009 after an inter partes decision by the TTAB, and the owner listed as GMA Network, Incorporated, a corporation organized in the Philippines. The filing covered two classes: Class 038 for “Broadcast of cable television programmes” and Class 041 for “Distribution of television programming to cable television systems,” both tied to cable TV services, so a similar name used in any television‑related broadcasting or distribution context would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “GMA,” “LIFE,” or “TV” outside those specific services. Because the mark was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register examination sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment in 2009, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a TV‑related brand with a similar name.
