NOVA

What this record means

The record shows that the “NOVA” application filed by Cooper Technologies Company is dead, having been abandoned on November 16 2022 after the applicant failed to respond to a non‑final Office action, and it never entered the register. The only goods listed are “solid cycloaliphatic epoxy insulated vacuum reclosers and switches for use in electrical power distribution” in International Class 009, so a similar name used for electrical‑distribution hardware would be the closest area of concern; uses in unrelated fields such as software, food, or apparel fall farther from the scope shown here. Because the mark never achieved registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “NOVA.” The prosecution history shows a series of correspondence changes and a non‑final action in May 2022, followed by the abandonment notice in November 2022, but there are no entries indicating opposition, cancellation, or court action. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a name in the same class of electrical distribution equipment.
