IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 88889980, owned by Internet Marketing Association, Inc., a California corporation. It protects services in class 035, specifically association services that promote the value, standards, education, innovation, and best practices of internet marketing to professionals worldwide, and networking opportunities for those professionals. A similar name used for comparable association or networking services would raise the closest concern. The record does not give control over every use of the word “IMA”; it is limited to the described services. The prosecution history indicates the mark was approved for publication and registered without any descriptiveness refusal, and the latest maintenance event was a courtesy reminder email on November 10, 2025. No opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the existing registration suggests a meaningful risk if the new use falls within the same or closely related services.
