IMASerial 73615595 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: SPECTRA MERCHANDISING INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed Aug 19, 1986
Registered Apr 07, 1987
The record shows that the mark “IMA” was registered on the Principal Register on April 7, 1987, but it was cancelled on January 12, 2008 because the owner, SPECTRA MERCHANDISING INTERNATIONAL, INC., did not file a Section 8 declaration. The registration covered class 009, specifically video equipment such as televisions and television/radio combinations. A new name that is very similar to “IMA” and used for the same or closely related goods—television or other video equipment—would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation means the mark no longer provides nationwide protection, so the wording is not controlled for all uses, but the historical registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in that specific category. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration and later cancellation, with no opposition, extension, or court action recorded. The supplied history contains no visible enforcement activity. If you’re thinking of a similar name for video equipment, this record suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with a previously registered mark.

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.
