NOVAFLOSS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NOVAFLOSS” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Channel Distribution, a California corporation, failed to file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for the single class 021, covering dental floss. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of dental floss products. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Novafloss” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows the mark was approved for publication, amended by the examiner, and ultimately allowed before abandonment. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. If you are thinking of using a similar name for dental floss, this abandoned record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in that specific product line.
