IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is no longer active; it was cancelled on May 16 2014 because the owner, Interactive Media Awards, Inc., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register in 2007 for services in education and entertainment, specifically for providing awards and incentives in website design, development, Internet advertising, and other global online communications. A similar name used in those same fields would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated areas would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses. The prosecution history shows a normal examination and publication cycle, with no Supplemental Register involvement. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the prior registration in the same service area still suggests a meaningful concern if the new use overlaps those services.
