MASTER CHEFSerial 75201138 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: C & K Manufacturing & Sales Company L.L.C.
Class 021 -
Filed Oct 21, 1996
The record shows that the mark MASTER CHEF is dead and was abandoned by its owner, C & K Manufacturing & Sales Company L.L.C., after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on October 21, 1996 and abandoned on March 14, 1998. It covered plastic cutting boards under class 021, with first use on August 1, 1996. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in all contexts. The closest area of concern would be other businesses dealing in plastic cutting boards or related kitchenware. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in June 1997, assignment to an examiner, and eventual abandonment for lack of response. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, but the specific goods—plastic cutting boards—remain a closer point of comparison.

The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
