IMASerial 72287067 · Principal Register
Dead · Expired
Owner: INSTITUTIONAL MART OF AMERICA INC.
Class 042 - Scientific & Technology Services
Filed Nov 16, 1967
Registered Sep 09, 1969
The record shows that the mark “IMA” is no longer live; it expired in 1992 and is listed as dead. The owner was Institutional Mart of America Inc., a Tennessee corporation. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in 1969 for services in class 042, specifically “advising institutional owners and operators with respect to appropriate types of safety, bookkeeping, and operational equipment for motels and restaurants.” Because the mark covers a narrow set of hospitality‑related consulting services, a similar name used in unrelated fields would be a farther concern, but the record still signals that the wording “IMA” is protected for that specific service area. The last maintenance event was the expiration under section 9 in 1992; no later dates are supplied. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions. For someone considering a similar name, the closest risk is in the hospitality‑consulting niche; elsewhere the record offers less direct concern.

The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
