IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is dead, having been abandoned by the applicant, International Marine Association, Inc., a Florida corporation, because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on January 25 2022 under an intent‑to‑use basis for services in class 036, specifically charitable fundraising services. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the word “IMA” in any context. The closest area of concern would be other charitable fundraising or related financial services that might use the same name, but the record does not indicate any broader rights. The prosecution history ends with abandonment notices on May 30 2023; no enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations are recorded. For someone looking to use a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the same or very similar services could still raise a concern if another party has a similar mark.
