What this record means

This mark is no longer live; the record shows it was cancelled on February 12, 2016 because the owner, IMA‑NORTE MASCHINENFABRIKEN KLESSMANN GMBH & CO., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on May 11, 1993 for machines used in the furniture industry, specifically edge‑banding and finishing equipment, and related processing lines. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same niche of furniture‑industry machinery. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific registration for those goods. The prosecution history indicates the mark was originally accepted on the Principal Register and later cancelled; no Supplemental Register activity is shown. No oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. If you plan to use a similar name, be aware that the cancelled registration still represents a prior claim in that specific field.
