G-SHOCK

What this record means

This record shows that the mark “G‑SHOCK” was abandoned after publication and is no longer live. The owner listed is ARMORED DEVICES INC., a corporation organized in Florida. The abandoned goods were ballistic‑resistant body armor and related protective clothing, all in class 009. Because the mark was never registered, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, but the record indicates that a similar name could raise the closest concern for products in that specific protective‑gear category. The prosecution history shows the application was filed on February 28, 2012, published for opposition on February 12, 2013, and the applicant filed an express abandonment on January 30, 2013, which the USPTO confirmed with an abandonment notice on February 12, 2013. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the main risk is that the abandoned mark could still be cited as a prior use in the same or closely related goods, so caution is advised.
