IMA COMPETENCY FRAMEWORK

What this record means

The record shows that “IMA COMPETENCY FRAMEWORK” is a pending service mark owned by the Institute of Management Accountants, Inc., a New Jersey corporation. The mark is published for opposition and has received a Notice of Allowance, so it is not yet registered but is close to registration. The goods and services listed are a website that provides financial information and educational resources about management accounting, finance, and financial management, specifically in classes 036 and 041. A similar name used for a website offering comparable financial or educational content would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “COMPETENCY FRAMEWORK.” The latest event is the Notice of Allowance issued on August 11, 2026; the applicant must file a Statement of Use or Extension Request within six months of that date. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the pending status and the specific educational and financial services listed suggest a meaningful risk of conflict if the new use overlaps those areas.
