MASTER CHEFSerial 78436318 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Hangzhou Wahaha Group Co., Ltd.
Class 030 - Staple Foods
Filed Jun 16, 2004
The record shows that the mark “MASTER CHEF” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Hangzhou Wahaha Group Co., Ltd., a corporation organized in China. The mark was filed on June 16 2004 and covered the class 030 goods of staple foods, specifically flour products such as noodles, instant noodles, instant rice, dumplings, steamed stuffed buns, processed cereals, bread, biscuits, congee, and macaroni. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same food product area, especially where the goods are sold under the same or similar labels. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on February 29 2008. For anyone thinking of using a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer active, but the goods listed still represent a potential area of concern if the name is used in the same food category.

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.
