NOVASerial 77479438 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Estes-Cox Corp.
Class 028 -
Filed May 20, 2008
The record shows that the mark “NOVA” is dead, having been abandoned by Estes‑Cox Corp. after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on May 20, 2008 under an intent‑to‑use basis for class 028, covering hobby craft kits that include flying model rockets, parts for assembling such rockets, and accessories for their operation. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the word “NOVA.” The closest area of concern would be any new product or service that involves hobby craft kits or toy rockets, as that is the exact goods listed. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action in September 2008 and an abandonment notice in April 2009, with no later maintenance or enforcement events recorded. Since the supplied history shows no enforcement activity, there is no visible signal of the owner actively protecting the mark. If you are considering a similar name for a hobby craft kit or toy rocket, this record suggests a meaningful concern in that specific market.

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.
