MASTER CHEFSerial 75510516 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: WEST 175 ENTERPRISES, INC
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Jun 29, 1998
The record shows that the mark “MASTER CHEF” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an Office action. The owner listed is WEST 175 ENTERPRISES, INC, a California corporation that filed the application on June 29, 1998 under an intent‑to‑use basis. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for two classes: class 016, which covers books such as cookbooks, and class 041, which covers educational and entertainment services in the form of an ongoing television program about cooking. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same categories—cookbooks or cooking‑related TV programming—because those are the goods and services the record specifically protects. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “master” or “chef” in unrelated contexts. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk if the use involves cookbooks or cooking‑related television content.

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.
