IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is dead; it was abandoned because the owner, DisputeMasters, LLC, failed to file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was a service mark on the Principal Register and covered legal and personal services, specifically alternative dispute resolution. Because the mark was abandoned, it no longer confers exclusive rights, but the history indicates that a similar name could raise the closest concern for services related to dispute resolution. The record does not establish control over every use of the wording, and no enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on December 14, 2009. If you’re considering a similar name for dispute‑resolution services, this record suggests a potential, but not definitive, risk of confusion.
