NOVASerial 97342619 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: WGBH Educational Foundation
Class 028 -
Filed Apr 01, 2022
The record shows the mark NOVA is abandoned, with the last status dated September 29 2023, and the owner listed as WGBH Educational Foundation, a Massachusetts corporation. The application covered “Educational board games in the field of science” under International Class 028, so the closest area of concern would be any new name used for similar science‑focused educational games. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word NOVA in other product categories or services. Because the filing was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register sequence to note. The most recent meaningful event is the abandonment notice issued on September 29 2023 after the applicant failed to respond to a non‑final office action. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a science‑education game brand, since the same wording is already tied to that niche.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
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.
