IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is no longer active; it expired because the owner, HOLIDAY INNS OF AMERICA, INC., did not renew it. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in 1965 for class 003, covering cosmetics and cleaning products such as hand and face soaps, carpet shampoo, all‑purpose detergents, glass cleaners, spot remover, bowl cleaner, wax stripper, and degreaser. Because the goods listed are specific to cleaning and personal care, a new name that is identical or very similar would raise the closest concern if it is used for comparable cleaning or cosmetic products. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “IMA,” only over the listed goods. No enforcement activity—such as oppositions or cancellations—is recorded. The last significant event was the expiration in 1985. For someone looking to use a similar name in a different field, the risk is lower, but for cleaning or cosmetic goods the record suggests a meaningful concern.
