IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, MMC, Inc., a California corporation, because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on November 7, 2005, and the abandonment was recorded on December 19, 2006. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 035, covering advertising and business services such as human resources consultation and management. A similar name used in those same services would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not grant control over every use of the wording. No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests the mark is no longer enforceable, but the specific services listed remain a potential area of concern.
