GMAIL

What this record means

This record shows that the mark “GMAIL” was once registered on the Principal Register but has since been cancelled. The owner is Google LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The mark covered electronic mail services, instant messaging, video conferencing, and text messaging, all under class 038. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same communication‑services area, especially for online email or messaging services. The record does not give Google control over every use of the word “gmail” in all contexts. The prosecution history shows the mark was registered in 2012 and cancelled in 2019 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the prior registration still signals that Google once claimed rights in that specific service area.
