NOVA

What this record means

The record shows the application for the mark NOVA has been abandoned, so it is not live or registered; the owner listed is Enya Music, Inc., a Texas corporation that filed on Feb 29 2020 and was marked dead on Oct 19 2020 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The only goods covered are “musical instrument tuning apparatus, namely, ukulees, guitars” in International Class 015, so a similar name used for tuning devices for those instruments would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give Enya Music control over every use of the word “NOVA” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action issued in April 2020 followed by an abandonment notice in October 2020, indicating the application never progressed to registration. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a name for similar tuning products.
