IMA

What this record means

This record shows that the mark “IMA” was registered on the Principal Register on October 14, 1997, but the registration was cancelled on July 17, 2004 because the registrant, INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA ASSOCIATION, did not file a required declaration. The mark covered trade association services that promote the interests of businesses in the multimedia industry, specifically in class 042. A similar name used in that same class or in related multimedia trade association services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation means the mark no longer provides exclusive rights, but the history does not prove that the wording is free for all uses. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation in 2004. If you’re thinking of using a similar name in multimedia trade association services, this record suggests a potential risk of confusion with the former mark.
