What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NOVAFLOW” is no longer live; it was cancelled on April 18 2017 because the international registration was cancelled in whole or in part. The owner listed is NovaLung GmbH, a private limited liability company organized in Germany. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for goods in class 010, specifically medical apparatuses and instruments for supporting lung function, such as artificial lungs, blood flow meters, bronchial dilators, and scalpels. A similar name would raise the closest concern for products or services that fall within that narrow medical device scope. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the word “Novaflow.” The prosecution history shows a refusal in August 2007, an amendment and approval in February 2008, and eventual cancellation in 2017, but no opposition or court actions are recorded. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you are considering a similar name for medical devices related to lung function, this record suggests a meaningful risk of confusion in that specific area.
