IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is dead and was cancelled on December 27 2023 because the international registration was cancelled in whole or in part. The owner listed is the Ishikawa Foundation. The mark was registered on the Principal Register in class 041 for services such as art exhibition services, information relating to art presentation, direction or presentation of plays, theater productions, providing facilities for art exhibitions, and rental of paintings and calligraphic works. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of art‑related services and exhibitions. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the word “IMA.” The prosecution history shows a refusal in 2014, a change of owner in 2015, and a series of invalidation actions in 2021‑2022 that led to the cancellation. No oppositions, extensions of time to oppose, or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark is no longer protected, but the specific art‑exhibition services remain a close area of concern.
