MASTER CHEFSerial 78911955 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Cargill, Incorporated
Class 029 - Meats & Processed Foods
Filed Jun 20, 2006
Registered Jul 01, 2008
The record shows that the mark “MASTER CHEF” is no longer active; it was cancelled on February 6 2015 because the registrant, Cargill, Incorporated, did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on July 1 2008 in the Principal Register for class 029, covering vegetable oils and shortening products such as soybean, peanut, and coconut oil. A similar name used for those or related food‑oil products would raise the closest concern, while use in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration path with no Supplemental Register involvement. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark no longer protects that wording, but the historical registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights over those specific food‑oil goods.

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.
