CHEF'S HATSerial 86311857 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Happy Joe's Franchising, Inc.
Class 043 - Restaurant & Hotel Services
Filed Jun 17, 2014
The record shows that the mark “CHEF'S HAT” is dead and was abandoned by Happy Joe's Franchising, Inc., a corporation organized in Iowa, after the owner failed to file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request following the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 043, covering restaurant services. Because the mark was only held for restaurant services, a similar name used in that same field would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The history indicates that the owner repeatedly sought extensions and revived the application, but ultimately abandoned it in July 2018, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied documents. For anyone thinking of a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects that wording, but the prior registration still signals that the owner once claimed rights in restaurant services.

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.
