What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NOVA” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 88516940, owned by Nova Fisheries, Inc., a corporation organized in Washington. The registration covers class 029 goods: seafood, not live, first used in commerce on July 28 1986. A similar name used for other seafood products would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “NOVA.” The prosecution history indicates a standard examination that led to registration on April 7 2020, with no supplemental register activity. The latest meaningful event is a courtesy reminder email for the 6‑year maintenance deadline on April 7 2025. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so the record shows no visible enforcement activity. If you plan to use “NOVA” for seafood or related foods, you should be aware that this mark is actively registered and could pose a risk of infringement.
