THE NOVAFLEX GROUP

What this record means

The record shows that “THE NOVAFLEX GROUP” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register owned by Z‑Flex (U.S.) Inc., a corporation organized in New Hampshire. The mark covers metal and non‑metal industrial duct and hose products, including industrial metal hoses, metal ventilating ducts, metal pipes, metal expansion joints, metal pipe connectors, as well as plastic, rubber, and fabric industrial hoses, non‑metal flexible pipes, non‑metal expansion joints, non‑metal pipe connectors, and non‑metal ducts. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same industrial duct and hose product categories. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording; it is limited to the goods listed. The prosecution history is empty, indicating no descriptiveness refusal or supplemental registration sequence. The latest maintenance event is the renewal noted on May 29 2020, with no further dates provided. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in the listed industrial duct and hose product lines could be viewed as infringing.
