What this record means
The record shows a live, pending application for the mark NOVA owned by Fashion Nova, LLC, a California limited‑liability company, and it is currently listed on the Principal Register but remains suspended under examination. The sole listed class is 005 for pharmaceuticals, specifically dietary food supplements, liquid nutritional and protein supplements, protein bars, beverage‑type supplements, and gel‑type supplements, with the explicit exclusion of fish, marine vegetable, soy‑extract, or isoflavone‑derived ingredients; a similar name used for any of those supplement products would be the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Fashion Nova, LLC control over every use of the word “NOVA” in other industries or for unrelated goods. The prosecution history shows a series of correspondence and a non‑final office action in November 2025, followed by a suspension notice and a suspension check completed on Aug 24 2026, which is the latest meaningful status event. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to launch a supplement line under a similar name.
