What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NOVAFLEX” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 77708748, owned by Edwards Lifesciences Corporation, a Delaware corporation. The registration covers a heart valve and delivery system, specifically a balloon catheter and introducer sheath for percutaneous or minimally invasive heart valve implantation. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the medical device field, especially for products or services that involve heart valve delivery systems. The record does not give Edwards Lifesciences control over every use of the word “Novaflex” in unrelated industries. The latest maintenance event was the renewal of the registration on January 26, 2022, with no further dates supplied. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of a live, principal‑register mark in a specific medical device class suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in that narrow area.
