NOVA
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and ActiveWhat this record means
The record shows that “NOVA” is a live, Principal Register registration owned by WGBH Educational Foundation, a Massachusetts corporation, and it was officially registered on June 4 2024 after filing on August 30 2023. The registration covers Class 028 goods described as “Educational board games in the field of science,” with first use in commerce dated June 1 2022. Because the claim is limited to science‑focused educational games, a similar name used for unrelated products—say, software, clothing, or food—would be farther from the scope shown here, while another science‑related board game would present the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “NOVA.” The latest meaningful event is the notice of registration confirmation emailed on June 4 2024; no opposition or cancellation activity appears in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a science‑oriented board game under a similar name.
