NOVAFLEKS

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NOVAFLEKS” is dead; it was abandoned because the owner, Novalis Holdings Limited, a corporation organized in Hong Kong, never filed a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 001 goods, specifically a bio‑based ingredient derived from a biological component for use in the manufacture of flooring. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of bio‑based flooring ingredients, while use in unrelated industries would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of extensions and eventual abandonment, with the last event being the abandonment notice on June 13, 2016. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific goods listed still present a potential concern if the new use is in the same or a closely related field.
