What this record means
The record shows that the mark “IMA” is a dead, cancelled service mark owned by the International Magnesium Association, a corporation organized in Illinois. The mark was registered on August 19 2014 for the specific service of providing association services that promote the magnesium industry, including marketing, education, and networking among producers, recyclers, foundries, fabricators, end‑users, and suppliers. Because the mark covers a narrow, industry‑specific service, a similar name used in a different field would present a farther‑from‑scope concern, while use in the same magnesium‑related services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation was due to the registrant’s failure to file a Section 8 declaration in 2021, and no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation on March 26 2021. If you are considering a similar name for magnesium‑related services, this history suggests a notable risk of conflict.
