GMA
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark GMA has been cancelled, so it is not a live registration; the last status entry on July 21 2023 notes that the registration was cancelled because the owner, GMA FOUNDATIONS, INC., did not file an acceptable Section 8 declaration, and the record is marked “dead.” The registration covered only one class—Class 036, Insurance & Financial—specifically “financial analysis and consulting for others in the area of philanthropy; philanthropic services concerning monetary donations; trust and private foundation management.” A similar name used in any of those philanthropic‑financial services would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that narrow scope are farther from the listed area but still not automatically free of risk. The prosecution history shows routine post‑registration maintenance (Section 8 and Section 9 filings in 2008, 2012 and a reminder in 2022) but no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 failure, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name in the same philanthropic‑financial consulting space.
