MASTER CHEF

What this record means

The record shows that the mark MASTER CHEF is dead and was abandoned by its owner, C & K MANUFACTURING and SALES COMPANY, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company. The abandoned application was for plastic cutting boards under class 021, with first use in August 1996 and use in commerce on the same date. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other context. The closest concern would arise if you used the name for goods that are similar to plastic cutting boards or related kitchenware, as that is the exact scope shown. The prosecution history indicates the application was assigned to an examiner and a non‑final action was mailed, but the applicant never responded, leading to abandonment on March 26, 1999. No enforcement activity is recorded. If you are thinking of a similar name for kitchen or food‑related products, this history suggests a potential but not definitive risk.
