What this record means
The record shows that the mark “GUN DOC “WE AIM TO KEEP YOU ON TARGET”” is no longer live; it was cancelled on July 11 2014 because the owner, Gun Doc, Inc., did not file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register in December 2007 for the specific goods of firearms repair and gunsmithing, namely repair and refinishing of guns. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same narrow field of firearms repair services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “GUN DOC” or the slogan; it only covers that particular service class. The prosecution history shows the mark was examined, amended, and ultimately approved for the Principal Register, but no Supplemental Register activity is involved. The last meaningful event was the cancellation in 2014, and no opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the earlier registration still signals a potential concern in firearms repair services.
