Pending · Application
Owner: Misook Won
Class 035 - Advertising & Business
Class 043 - Restaurant & Hotel Services
Filed Feb 13, 2025
The record shows that “KIMCHI MASTERCHEF KOREA” is a pending service mark owned by Misook Won, with a status of “Suspended Pending Administrative Review” as of March 16 2026. The mark covers advertising and marketing services for e‑commerce and retail platforms (Class 035) and fast‑food restaurant and related services (Class 043), with the restaurant services first used on April 14 2023. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the restaurant and fast‑food sector, especially mobile food trucks or casual sandwich shops, and in marketing services for online retail. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “KIMCHI” or “KOREA.” The prosecution history shows a final refusal in January 2026 followed by a suspension for administrative review in March 2026; no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. The next consequential event would be the outcome of the administrative review, but no date is provided. For someone considering a similar name, the existing pending mark presents a meaningful risk in the fast‑food and marketing arenas.

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.
