NOVA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “NOVA” is currently pending under examination on the Principal Register, owned by Edward A Portillo, an individual. The mark covers non‑metal storage boxes for general use, with first use in August 2025 and use in commerce by December 2025. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of storage containers or related household goods. The record does not give the mark control over every use of the word “NOVA.” The prosecution history indicates a non‑final Office action was issued on May 29 2026, requiring additional information or a refusal; no supplemental register status is involved. The latest status event is the issuance of that non‑final action. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the pending status and specific goods suggest a meaningful risk of conflict in the storage‑box market.
