IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is no longer active; it was cancelled on June 1 1990 because the registrant failed to file a declaration under Section 8. The owner listed is IMA Tool Distributors, a corporation organized in New Jersey. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 042, covering mail‑order services in the field of tools, hardware and related items, with first use in April 1982. Because the mark was cancelled, it no longer provides protection, but the historical filing still indicates that a similar name used for mail‑order tool services could raise the closest concern. The record does not give the mark control over all uses of the word “IMA.” No opposition, cancellation, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For anyone thinking of a similar name, the cancelled status suggests a lower risk, but the past registration in the same class still warrants caution if the same or related services are offered.
