GMA GOSPEL MUSIC ASSOCIATION

What this record means

The record shows the mark GMA GOSPEL MUSIC ASSOCIATION is cancelled, with the last meaningful event being a Section 8 cancellation on September 4 2015, and the owner listed as Gospel Music Association, a Tennessee corporation. The registration covered educational and entertainment services in Class 041 – specifically seminars, exhibitions, conferences, workshops, gospel‑music shows and awards related to gospel music. A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if used for any of those same types of educational or entertainment activities, because the record’s scope is limited to those described services. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “GMA” or “Gospel Music Association” outside that field. There is no Supplemental Register entry, so no amendment sequence to note. The prosecution history shows no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 filing, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable gospel‑music education or entertainment brand.
