What this record means
The record shows that the mark “IMA” is currently pending, with the owner NOW IP HOLDINGS, a Michigan limited liability company, and the application is awaiting examination on the Principal Register. The goods and services listed are extensive restaurant and hotel services, including Japanese, sushi, ramen, take‑out, catering, café, bar, and pop‑up restaurant services. A similar name used in any of those food‑service contexts would raise the closest record‑based concern. This record does not give control over every use of the word “IMA”; it only covers the specific restaurant and hospitality services listed. The prosecution history shows only the filing and receipt of the application, with no further examination steps or refusals yet. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. If you are thinking of using a similar name for a restaurant or related hospitality business, this pending mark suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
