INTERNATIONAL MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS EXPERT (IM&A)
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “INTERNATIONAL MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS EXPERT (IM&A)” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Institute for Mergers, Acquisitions and Alliances (IMAA) GmbH, did not file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was on the Principal Register and covered printed publications, educational services, and computer services related to mergers and acquisitions. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same areas—brochures, conferences, and website services for M&A. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods and services listed. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on November 18, 2019. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific M&A services listed remain a potential point of concern.
