What this record means
The record shows that the “NOVA” application is dead – it was abandoned on August 20, 2026 after the applicant failed to respond to a non‑final Office action, and the owner listed is Hongkong Top Precision Technology Co., Limited. The filing covered Class 034 goods – tobacco, cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, and smoking herbs – with a first use date of November 17, 2025. Because the concern is limited to those tobacco‑related products, a similar name used for unrelated items such as software, clothing, or food would be farther from the scope shown here, though the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “NOVA.” The prosecution history only reflects the filing, examiner assignment, a non‑final action, and the abandonment notice; there are no oppositions, cancellations, or court actions noted. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a brand in the same tobacco market, but the risk drops sharply for other categories.
