What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NOVAFLOW” is no longer active; it was cancelled on May 16 2009 because the owner, Novacast AB, a corporation organized in Sweden, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register on August 20 2002 under class 009 for computer programs for mold‑filling simulation and computers and peripheral equipment for computers. Because the cancellation was a Section 8 event, the mark is not currently enforceable, and the record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows that the mark was initially approved for publication, published for opposition, and later registered; no supplemental register steps are involved. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of a similar name, the closest concern would be in the same technical computing field, and the cancellation means the owner is not currently protecting that mark.
