NOVAFLEXSerial 74291488 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Zimmer, Inc.
Class 010 -
Filed Jul 06, 1992
The record shows that the mark “NOVAFLEX” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, Zimmer, Inc., a Delaware corporation. The mark was filed on July 6, 1992 on an intent‑to‑use basis and was published for opposition on December 29, 1992. It was granted a Notice of Allowance on March 23, 1993, but no Statement of Use was filed and the application was abandoned on March 24, 1996. The goods listed are orthopedic implants, specifically intramedullary fractured fixation devices and related instruments in class 010. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the field of orthopedic medical devices. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Novaflex.” No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is not currently enforceable, but the specific goods listed still represent a potential area of concern if the new use is in the same or a closely related field.

The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
