What this record means
The record shows that the mark “IMA” was once registered on the Principal Register but was cancelled on October 20, 2001 because the registrant, Interactive Media Agency, a California corporation, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered business‑agency services, specifically representing software publishing companies in the United States and Japan and consulting related to that representation, under class 035. Because the cancellation was due to a maintenance failure, the mark no longer carries any enforceable rights, and the record does not grant control over the wording in any other context. The prosecution history indicates a straightforward registration path with no opposition or descriptive refusal, and the only recent event is the cancellation. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or extensions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be the former advertising and business‑agency services in class 035, but the cancelled status means the mark no longer poses a legal barrier.
