What this record means
The record shows that the mark “IMA” is no longer active; it was abandoned after a decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The owner listed is The IMA Financial Group, Inc., a corporation organized in Kansas. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for services in class 036, specifically insurance agency and brokerage, insurance information and consultancy services, and processing, administering and managing employee benefit plans concerning insurance and finance. Because the mark covers those financial‑service activities, a similar name used in the same or closely related financial services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The abandonment does not mean the wording is free for all uses; the record only shows that the owner no longer holds the registration. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations are recorded, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of a similar name in financial services, this history suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with the abandoned mark.
