IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is dead and was abandoned because the international registration was restricted, renounced, or expired. The owner listed is Institut mikroelektronických aplikací s.r.o. The mark covered electrical and scientific apparatus, advertising and business services, and scientific and technology services, all of which were cancelled under Section 70. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those areas, especially electronic components and software/hardware consultancy. The record does not give control over every use of the word “IMA.” The prosecution history indicates a refusal in 2005, followed by abandonment in 2006, with no supplemental register activity. The latest event was the cancellation notice mailed in February 2015. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk in the listed goods and services, but it does not preclude all other uses.
