IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is no longer active; it was registered on March 16, 1965, expired on June 16, 1985, and the owner is HOLIDAY INNS OF AMERICA, INC. The registration covered class 3 cosmetics and cleaning goods, specifically furniture creams and polishes. A new use of the name “IMA” in a similar category—such as furniture care products—would raise the closest concern because the goods match the original scope. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word; it only reflects the specific goods listed. No prosecution history or enforcement actions appear, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. The last meaningful event was the expiration in 1985. For someone looking to use a similar name in furniture cleaning, the record suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with the former mark.
