IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” was registered on the Principal Register for insurance and financial services under class 036, but it was cancelled on July 15 2022 because the owner, IMA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC., failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The goods and services listed—insurance agency and brokerage, insurance information and consultancy services, and processing, administering and managing employee benefit plans concerning insurance and finance—are the only areas where the mark’s protection once existed. A similar name used in those exact or closely related financial activities would raise the closest record‑based concern. The cancellation means the mark no longer controls any use of the wording, though it does not eliminate the possibility that other owners might claim rights elsewhere. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration and subsequent cancellation, with no opposition or court actions recorded. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces risk, but the specific financial services listed remain a potential point of concern.
