What this record means
The record shows that the mark “NOVA” is still pending on the Principal Register and is owned by The Linux Foundation, a non‑profit corporation organized in Oregon. The application covers downloadable software platforms for provisioning and managing virtual machines in a cloud environment, specifically the creation, scaling, and management of virtual servers on demand. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same technical field of cloud‑based virtual machine management software. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “NOVA.” The prosecution history indicates the mark has been suspended since May 29, 2025, with a suspension letter and no further action recorded; the latest status event is the suspension check completed on June 19, 2026. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the pending status and suspension suggest a meaningful risk of conflict in the cloud‑virtual‑machine software space.
