NOVAFLEX

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NOVAFLEX” is no longer live; it was cancelled under Section 8 because the registrant, SIKKENS B.V., a corporation organized in the Netherlands, failed to file a declaration. The cancelled registration covered additives to adjust the performance of paints for flexible plastic articles and paints for application to plastic articles and automobiles. A similar name used in those specific paint or plastic‑article‑related goods would raise the closest concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Novaflex.” The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication, published for opposition, and registered on the Principal Register before cancellation; no Supplemental Register activity is involved. The latest meaningful event is the cancellation on August 28, 1995. No oppositions, extensions, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status suggests a lower risk, but the goods listed remain the most relevant area of concern.
