Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “IMA” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 87203661, owned by DISTRIBUTION MARKETING SERVICES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The mark covers services in class 035, specifically procurement and marketing services for food‑service distribution companies, and class 042, product development services for the same industry. A similar name would raise the closest concern in these food‑service distribution and product‑development contexts. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “IMA”; it applies only to the listed services. The latest maintenance event is the acceptance of Sections 8 and 15 declarations on April 21, 2025, keeping the registration active. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. If you plan to use a similar name in food‑service distribution or product development, this record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
