What this record means
The record shows a live, Principal Register registration for the mark NOVA owned by Wilson Sporting Goods Co., a Delaware corporation, and it covers volleyballs in International Class 028 with a first use date of May 1 2025. Because the registration is limited to that specific sporting‑goods category, a similar name used for unrelated products such as clothing, software or food would be farther from the scope shown here, though the wording itself is not blocked in all contexts. The latest meaningful event is the issuance of the registration on July 7 2026, which also serves as the current status date; no further maintenance deadlines are listed in the record. The prosecution history contains only routine filing, suspension checks and a notice of allowance, and there are no oppositions, cancellations or court actions recorded, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market volleyballs or closely related sports equipment under a similar name, but the risk drops off for dissimilar goods.
