What this record means
The record shows that the mark “IMA” is no longer live; it was cancelled on March 7, 2021 because the corresponding international registration was cancelled in whole or in part. The owner listed is INFOVISTA SAS, an entity organized in France. The mark was registered on the Principal Register on May 15, 2012 for two classes: class 009, which covers recorded and downloadable computer software for network management, monitoring, and security, and class 038, which covers data transmission and reception services via telecommunications for network administration and security. A similar name would raise the closest concern in these software and telecom services, especially where network management or security is involved. The record does not give the mark control over all uses of the word “IMA.” The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of office actions and final disposition, with no indication that the mark was ever moved to the Supplemental Register. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation on March 7, 2021, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific software and telecom services listed remain a potential area of concern.
