GPT GLOSS PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY AA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “GPT GLOSS PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY AA” was registered on the Principal Register on May 17, 2011 but was cancelled on December 22, 2017 because the registrant, Armando Álvarez, S.A., a corporation organized in Spain, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered plastic packaging film that provides extra gloss and extra protection for printing packages, a very specific type of packaging film. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of specialty packaging films or related packaging materials. The cancellation means the mark no longer gives the owner exclusive rights, but it does not automatically free the wording for all uses; other rights could still exist. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration and later cancellation, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk of confusion in the packaging film niche, but the mark’s cancellation reduces the likelihood of strong enforcement.
