What this record means
The record shows that the mark “IMA” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 79023640, owned by ICHIMURA SANGYO Co., Ltd., a corporation organized in Japan. The registration protects woven fabrics other than edging ribbons for tatami mats, knitted fabrics, felt and non‑woven textile fabrics, class 024. A similar name used for those specific textile products would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “IMA” in other contexts. The prosecution history indicates no Supplemental Register activity; the mark was accepted on the Principal Register on July 31, 2007, with a Section 71 declaration accepted on July 17, 2017, and a recent courtesy reminder for the 10‑year Section 71 renewal was emailed on July 31, 2026. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in the same textile categories could conflict with this active registration.
