What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NOVAFLARE” is live and registered on the Principal Register, with serial number 98382082 and registration number 7587162. The owner is Jianjun Zhao, an individual, and the mark was filed on January 30 2024, published for opposition on October 1 2024, and officially registered on December 3 2024. The goods covered are a range of pet and personal bags and accessories, including haversacks, backpacks for pets, cosmetic bags sold empty, dog bellybands, duffle bags, gym bags, leads for animals, make‑up bags sold empty, pet clothing, purses and wallets, sports bags, sports packs, tote bags, vanity cases sold empty, and wrist‑mounted purses. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of pet and personal bag accessories. The record does not give control over every use of the word “NOVAFLARE.” The prosecution history shows a straightforward path to the Principal Register with no supplemental register steps. The latest event is the registration confirmation on December 3 2024, and no enforcement actions are visible in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration in the pet and personal bag category suggests a meaningful risk of confusion in that market.
