IMASerial 74568452 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: International Institute of Martial Arts, Inc.
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Sep 01, 1994
The record shows that the mark “IMA” is dead and was abandoned by International Institute of Martial Arts, Inc., a Florida corporation, because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for services in class 041, specifically education and entertainment, and the first use was in March 1990. A similar name would raise the closest concern for services that involve education or entertainment, such as classes, workshops, or instructional media. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording “IMA”; it only covers the specific services listed. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in February 1995, followed by abandonment in December 1995, with no subsequent enforcement activity recorded. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement signals. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “IMA” for education or entertainment services could be seen as too close to this abandoned 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.
