NOVA

What this record means

The record shows that “NOVA” is a live, Principal Register registration owned by Encompass Group, LLC, a Delaware limited‑liability company, and it was officially registered on June 28 2022 after the notice of allowance in February 2022. The registration covers only one class – Class 010 – specifically “medical devices, namely, patient warming systems comprised of a warming blanket and temperature controller therefor,” with a first use date of November 3 2021. Because the claim is limited to that narrow medical‑device niche, a similar name used for unrelated products or services would be a farther concern, while any warming‑blanket or temperature‑control device would present the closest record‑based overlap. The record does not give Encompass Group control over every possible use of the word “NOVA.” The latest meaningful event is the registration confirmation on June 28 2022; no opposition, cancellation or other enforcement activity appears in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name for comparable medical warming equipment, but the risk drops sharply for other categories.
