MASTERCHEFSerial 75375781 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Wingar Industrial Inc.
Class 008 -
Class 021 -
Filed Oct 20, 1997
The record shows that the mark “MASTERCHEF” is dead, having been abandoned by Wingar Industrial Inc., a California corporation, after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The abandoned application covered hand tools, cutlery, barbecue tools, kitchen gadgets, and pots and pans under classes 008 and 021, with first use in commerce on October 1, 1996. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any context. The closest concern would arise if someone used the name for similar kitchen‑related goods, especially hand tools or cookware, since that is where the original application was directed. The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed in August 1998 and abandonment in March 1999, with no subsequent enforcement activity recorded. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement signals. For a party considering a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk of confusion for kitchen‑tool or cookware products, but no broader claim exists.

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.
