What this record means
The record shows that “WHITE'S PORK CHOP TOPPER” was a cancelled registration on the Principal Register, owned by White's Family Kitchens, Inc., a corporation organized in Illinois. The mark covered sauces under class 030, specifically staple foods, with use in commerce beginning May 29, 1998. Because the mark is dead, it no longer provides enforceable rights, but the history indicates that the owner once held protection for that specific description of a pork‑chop topping sauce. A similar name would raise the closest concern if it applied to sauces or related staple food products, especially those marketed as pork‑chop toppers. The record does not create control over every use of the wording, and the cancellation was due to a failure to file a Section 8 declaration in 2006. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the main risk is that the mark was once registered for a comparable product, so using the same phrase for a pork‑chop topping sauce could still invite scrutiny.
