NOVA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark NOVA is abandoned, with the last status dated Aug 29 2023, and the owner listed as Finapres Medical Systems B.V., a Dutch besloten vennootschap. The application covered Class 010 goods described as “surgical and medical apparatus and instruments for monitoring patients; sphygmotensiometers; heart rate monitors,” first used in May 2016. Because the filing was for those specific medical monitoring devices, a later use of the word NOVA in a similar health‑care or patient‑monitoring context would present the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word NOVA in any industry. The prosecution history shows a series of office actions in 2023 that were not answered, leading to an abandonment notice and the final abandonment on Aug 29 2023; no enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name for medical monitoring equipment, but the risk drops for unrelated product categories.
