IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is dead and was abandoned because the owner, Certitrek Group, LLC, did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was a certification mark filed on June 5 2017 under an intent‑to‑use basis and was approved for publication in the Principal Register on September 6 2017. The prosecution history lists a single extension granted in June 2018 and the abandonment notice in January 2019, with no further maintenance filings. No goods or services are listed in the record, so the closest concern would arise if a similar name were used in the same or related fields that the original applicant intended to certify. The history shows no oppositions, cancellations, or court actions, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the abandonment means the mark no longer protects that wording, but the lack of goods or services listed suggests that any future use would still need to be evaluated against other existing marks.
