What this record means
The record shows that the mark “IMA” was registered on the Principal Register on August 26, 2003, but it was cancelled on March 8, 2024 because the owner, IMA Klessmann GmbH Holzbearbeitungssysteme, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The goods covered are woodworking machines and parts for moulding, cutting, glue application, edge and surface finishing, and related equipment for wood, wood‑like materials, and furniture components. A similar name used in those same or closely related areas would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific registration. No enforcement activity—such as oppositions or cancellations after publication—is visible in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the March 8, 2024 cancellation. If you plan to use “IMA” in woodworking or related machinery, you should be aware that the mark’s prior registration could still influence perceptions and potential conflicts.
