GMA

What this record means

The record shows that the “GMA” service mark is cancelled, with the last status change on July 12 2019 when the registration was cancelled because the owner, Gunnar Malm & Associates, Inc., did not file an acceptable Section 8 declaration; the mark was never revived after that. It was registered on the Principal Register for class 042, covering “architectural and engineering services,” so a later use of “GMA” in the same or a closely related field would raise the most direct record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the letters “GMA,” especially outside those services. The prosecution history shows the usual post‑registration maintenance steps—notice of acceptance of Section 8 in 2014 and a courtesy reminder in 2017—followed by the cancellation for non‑compliance. 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 in architectural or engineering services, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
