KIMCHI MASTERCHEF KOREASerial 99042618 · Principal Register
Pending · Application
Owner: Misook Won
Class 035 - Advertising & Business
Class 043 - Restaurant & Hotel Services
Filed Feb 14, 2025
The record shows that “KIMCHI MASTERCHEF KOREA” is a pending service mark owned by Misook Won, currently 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). A similar name would raise the closest concern in those two classes, especially where the mark is used for food service or marketing of Korean‑style food. 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 in March 2026, with no further action recorded. No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the current status suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in the advertising and fast‑food restaurant 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.
