IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is no longer live; it was cancelled on February 20 1991 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is IMA – Industria Macchine Automatiche, S.p.A., a corporation organized in Italy. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 007, covering automatic machines such as packaging fillers, batching‑sorting machines, labelling machines, and machines for making and packaging cigarettes and cigars. A new name that is very similar to “IMA” would raise the closest concern in the area of industrial machinery, especially packaging and labeling equipment. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “IMA” in all contexts. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the cancellation suggests the mark is no longer enforceable, but the specific machinery goods remain a potential point of concern.
