IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” was abandoned and is no longer active. The owner listed is AMZ Design Co., LTD, a corporation organized in Japan. The mark was filed on June 15 2005 on an intent‑to‑use basis and was published for opposition on June 20 2006. The only goods listed are fishing rods, fishing lines and fishing reels in class 028. Because the mark is dead, it does not give the owner control over the word “IMA” in any other context, but the closest concern would arise if you used the name for fishing‑related products or services. The prosecution history shows a series of extensions for a Statement of Use after the Notice of Allowance, but no final use statement was ever filed, leading to abandonment on October 27 2008. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is not currently enforceable, yet the specific fishing‑goods scope could still raise a concern if the new use is closely related.
