GMA

What this record means

The record shows that the “GMA” mark is cancelled – the registration was voided on July 12 2024 because the owner, Howard L. Parr, did not file a required Section 8 declaration, and the record is listed as “dead · Cancelled.” It was a Principal Register service mark covering Class 041 services described as “On‑line journals, namely, blogs featuring American‑made consumer and service products.” A similar name would raise the closest concern if you plan to publish blogs or other online content about American‑made goods, because that is the exact scope the USPTO record lists. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the letters GMA in other industries or contexts. There is no Supplemental Register entry, so no amendment sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the Section 8 cancellation in July 2024, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations by others, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if your venture involves online journals about American products, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
