What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NOVALYZER” is dead, having been abandoned on May 13 1999 because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Advanced Technology Materials, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the mark was filed under an intent‑to‑use basis. The only goods listed are equipment and software for monitoring fluids and fluid streams to determine the presence, characteristics and concentration of specific components, which falls under class 009. A similar name used for products or services in that exact technical area would raise the closest record‑based concern. The abandonment means the mark no longer controls the wording in any jurisdiction, but it does not eliminate the possibility that other rights could exist elsewhere. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action and an abandonment, with no enforcement activity recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the visible risk is limited to the abandoned claim in that narrow technical field.
