NOVA

What this record means

The record shows that the application for the mark NOVA was filed by Liquid Brands Distillery, LLC, a Washington limited‑liability company, but it was abandoned on June 2 2020 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, so the mark is not live or registered. The only goods listed are “Distilled spirits” in International Class 033, with a first use date of August 1 2019; a later filing that uses the same name for those same spirits would run into the closest record‑based concern because the USPTO record ties the word NOVA directly to that category of alcoholic beverages. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word NOVA in other industries or contexts. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply reflects the non‑final action and the subsequent abandonment notice. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on June 2 2020, and no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations are shown. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market distilled spirits under the same name, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
