IMA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “IMA” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Inc., a nonprofit corporation organized in Indiana. The registration covers services in class 041, specifically art exhibition services, museum curator services, museum services, guided tours of art museum exhibitions, and related virtual and website services in the field of art, art history, art culture, and art appreciation. A similar name used in these or closely related museum and art‑education contexts would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “IMA” outside these services. The prosecution history shows a straightforward approval for publication and registration with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. The latest significant event is the registration date of June 9, 2026, and no further maintenance or renewal dates are provided. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in museum or art‑education services could be challenged because the mark is already protected in that specific field.
