IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 88453341, 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, with first use in November 2022. A similar name would raise the closest concern for software or applications that control industrial or factory automation equipment. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “IMA”; it is limited to the specific goods listed. The prosecution history indicates a standard allowance and statement of use process, with the latest event being the registration confirmation on April 11, 2023. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration in the same technical field suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
