IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is no longer active; it was cancelled on May 23 2009 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner was Interchurch Medical Assistance, Inc., a corporation organized in New York. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 042, covering charitable services such as procuring and distributing donated medicinal supplies to emergency health care and development programs, and related consultation. A similar name used in those same charitable or medical‑supply‑distribution services would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation means the mark no longer grants exclusive rights, but it does not erase the fact that the owner once held a registration for those specific services. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 event appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the new use overlaps the charitable medical‑supply services described.
