GMA

What this record means

The record shows that the “GMA” application is dead – it was abandoned on Oct 1 2018 because the owner never filed a required Statement of Use after the Notice of Allowance, and no extension was pending. The owner listed is GMA Cabinets, Closets and Building Supplies Inc., a New Jersey corporation, and the filing was an intent‑to‑use request dated Aug 10 2016. The only goods covered are in International Class 020 and include cabinet doors, cabinets, various closet accessories such as belt racks, clothes bars, shoe racks, sliding rails, kitchen cabinets, and prefabricated metal or wood closet organization systems. A similar name used for those types of products would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that narrow furniture‑and‑storage scope are farther from the listed area. The prosecution history shows the application moved through publication, a Notice of Allowance and two extensions of time to file a Statement of Use before the final abandonment, but it never reached registration on either the Principal or Supplemental Register. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so no enforcement signal appears. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name for cabinet or closet products, but the record does not block every possible use of “GMA.”
