The imprint apparatus of the present invention molds an uncured resin on a substrate using a mold to form a resin pattern on the substrate. The apparatus includes a measuring device configured to project a light onto the mold, to receive a light scattered by the mold, and to measure the scattered light; and a controller. The controller is configured to store a reference signal, to cause the measuring device to measure the mold to obtain a measurement signal, and to obtain an index indicating a discrepancy between the measurement signal and the reference signal.
