NOVASerial 98209100 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Villanova University in the State of Pennsylvania
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Oct 04, 2023
The record shows that the mark NOVA was filed by Villanova University in the State of Pennsylvania as a service mark on Oct 4 2023, but it is now dead because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, with abandonment noted on Sep 16 2024. The only goods and services listed are in International Class 041 – “Conducting, broadcasting, and sponsoring collegiate athletic competitions, exhibitions, games and other performances,” first used in Aug 2011. A similar name used for anything in that education‑and‑entertainment arena would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that scope are farther from what the record covers and the record does not give Villanova control over every possible use of the word “NOVA.” The prosecution history shows a non‑final action issued in June 2024 and the subsequent abandonment notice in September 2024, which is the latest meaningful status event. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name tied to collegiate sports or related broadcasts.
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.
