IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 8845335, owned by Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc., a Delaware corporation. It protects downloadable mobile applications and downloadable software for controlling factory automation systems in class 009, first used and in commerce on May 13 2019. A similar name would raise the closest concern for software that controls factory automation, because that is the exact scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “IMA”; it only covers the specific goods listed. The latest maintenance event is the registration itself on September 22 2020, with no further dates supplied. No oppositions, cancellations, or enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “IMA” for software that controls factory automation could conflict with this active registration.
