What this record means
The record shows that the mark “IMA” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by International Military Antiques, Inc., a New Jersey corporation. It protects services in class 035, specifically “On‑line retail store services featuring military‑related antiques,” first used on December 31, 2011. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same online retail and military‑antique niche; uses in unrelated fields would be farther from this scope. The record does not give control over every use of the word “IMA.” The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration with no descriptiveness refusal or supplemental registration. The latest maintenance event was the acceptance of the 10‑year renewal on September 1, 2025, keeping the mark active. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “IMA” for online military‑antique retail services could conflict with this active registration.
