MASTER CHEF JOHNSerial 97396830 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: NATURE CHAIN INC.
Class 029 - Meats & Processed Foods
Filed May 11, 2022
The record shows that the mark “MASTER CHEF JOHN” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is NATURE CHAIN INC., a California corporation, and the mark was filed on May 11 2022 under an intent‑to‑use basis. The goods covered are pickled vegetables in soy sauce, soybean paste or vinegar and prepared food kits that include meat, poultry, fish, seafood, or vegetables with sauces or seasonings, ready for cooking and assembly as a meal. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the food preparation and kit market, especially where the name is used for ready‑to‑cook or assembled meal products. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “MASTER CHEF JOHN.” The prosecution history shows a non‑final action in March 2023 and an abandonment notice in July 2023, with no enforcement actions recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer protected, but the specific goods listed still represent the most relevant area of concern.

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.
