NOVAFLUID

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NOVAFLUID” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Separex, S.A., failed to file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was filed on April 16, 1997 and was allowed on October 13, 1998, but the abandonment was recorded on April 14, 2000. The goods covered are machines and scientific apparatus used for extracting, purifying, fractionating, and processing pharmaceuticals, aromas, oils, glasses, polymers, metals, cosmetics, composites, and food products with liquified gases or supercritical fluids, under classes 007 and 009. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same technical fields, especially for equipment that uses supercritical fluids. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it only reflects rights that were once sought for those specific goods. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the technical scope of the original application still suggests a potential concern if the new use is in the same industry.
