NOVA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark NOVA was abandoned on April 27, 2023 after an inter partes decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, so it is not a live or pending registration and the owner listed is C4 Imaging, LLC, a Texas limited‑liability company. The application covered only Class 010 goods described as “biocompatible implantable marker, namely an implant comprised of artificial and synthetic materials containing an encapsulated magnetic resonance imaging agent, as well x‑ray and computed tomography imaging components.” Because the claim is limited to that very specific medical‑device niche, a similar name used for unrelated products would be farther from the scope shown here, but a name used for comparable implantable or imaging markers would present the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “NOVA.” No supplemental‑register filing or prosecution history details appear, and the latest status event is the abandonment notice; no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations are visible. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a mark in the same implantable‑marker field, but the risk drops sharply for other categories.
