NOVAFLORA, INC.

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NOVAFLORA, INC.” is no longer active; it was cancelled on October 29, 2021 because the owner, NOVAFLORA, LLC, did not file a required declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register in 1998 for the sale of live ornamental plants, first used in commerce on December 1, 1995. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of live ornamental plants, as that is the only goods category listed. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; the history only shows that the owner failed to maintain the registration. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. The last significant event was the cancellation in 2021. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful concern in the live ornamental plant market, but the mark is no longer enforceable under the USPTO.
