IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” was once registered on the Principal Register but is now dead, having been cancelled because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is SPECTRA MERCHANDISING INTERNATIONAL, INC., a corporation organized in Illinois. The mark covered calculators under class 009, which means a similar name used for calculators or related electrical and scientific apparatus would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the word “IMA”; it is limited to that specific product category. The prosecution history shows the mark was accepted and registered in 1990, with no later maintenance filings. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of using a similar name for calculators or similar devices, this history suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
