IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is no longer active; it was a registered principal mark that expired on June 16 1985 because it was not renewed. The owner listed is HOLIDAY INNS OF AMERICA, INC., a Tennessee corporation. The mark covered mattresses and box springs, pillows, living‑room and bedroom furniture, mirrors, and occasional tables. A new name that includes “IMA” would raise the closest concern if it relates to those same kinds of household furnishings, especially mattresses or bedroom furniture. The record does not give the mark any blanket control over the word “IMA” in other contexts. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the expiration under Section 9 in 1985. Because the mark is dead, the risk of conflict is limited to the specific goods listed, but a similar name in that category could still trigger a concern.
