IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” was registered on the Principal Register on November 11, 2008, but it was cancelled on June 12, 2015 because the owner, Lincoln Potwin, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark covered clothing, specifically shirts, t‑shirts, and hats, as listed in class 025. A similar name used for those same types of apparel would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated goods would be farther from the scope shown. The cancellation means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights on the Principal Register, and the record does not give control over every use of the word “IMA.” No enforcement actions, oppositions, or extensions appear in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation in 2015. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that the mark is no longer active, but the historical registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in apparel, so caution is advisable if using the name for similar goods.
