NOVAFLOOR

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NOVAFLOOR” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by NOVALIS HOLDINGS LIMITED, a corporation organized in Hong Kong. The registration covers hard solid vinyl floor coverings, a specific type of flooring product. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of vinyl flooring products, because the goods listed are the exact scope of the mark. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Novafloor” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration process with no descriptiveness refusal or supplemental registration. The most recent event is the renewal on April 21, 2022, which keeps the mark active for another ten years. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “Novafloor” for vinyl flooring products could conflict with this active registration.
