GMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark GMA was registered on the Principal Register to Gunnar Malm & Associates, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation, but the registration was cancelled on July 12 2019 because the owner failed to file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. It covered only “architectural and engineering services” in International Class 042, meaning a later applicant using the same word for those same services would run into the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner any control over the word GMA in unrelated fields such as food, apparel or software. No Supplemental Register activity appears, and the latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation notice in 2019; no future deadline is listed. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties or court actions, so the supplied history shows no enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a similar name in architectural or engineering services.
