NOVAFLO

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NOVAFLO” is no longer active; it was cancelled on January 22, 2016 because the registrant, Georgia‑Pacific Chemicals LLC, did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on April 16, 1991 for the goods “liquid rosin size used in the manufacture of paper and paperboard,” first used on June 30, 1986. A similar name would raise the closest concern for products or services involving liquid rosin or related paper‑board manufacturing materials. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the specific registration for that class of goods. The prosecution history shows the mark was originally accepted on the Principal Register, with no Supplemental Register activity. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk but does not eliminate potential concerns in the same goods area.
