GMA

What this record means

The record shows that the GMA application filed by Bottom Line Industries, Inc., a Louisiana corporation, is dead – it was abandoned on Oct 10 2016 because no Statement of Use or timely extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The filing covered Class 001 chemical additives for oil‑well drilling fluid and Class 004 non‑chemical additives for oil‑well drilling fluid, so a similar mark used in the oil‑field chemicals arena would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the letters “GMA” in other industries or contexts. Because this was a Principal Register filing, there is no Supplemental Register sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice dated Oct 10 2016, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a name that will appear on drilling‑fluid products, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
