What this record means
This record shows that the mark “MASTER CHEF” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, Northland Corporation, a Michigan‑organized corporation. The abandonment was filed as an express abandonment, and the status date is May 15 2003. The mark was on the Principal Register and covered the goods “REFRIGERATORS, FREEZERS” in class 011. Because the record only lists that specific class, the closest concern for a new name would be in the same category of refrigeration appliances. The record does not give the mark any control over other uses of the wording in unrelated goods or services. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. The last meaningful event was the abandonment filing in 2003. If you are thinking of using a similar name for refrigerators or freezers, this history suggests a meaningful concern, while uses in other areas would be farther from the scope shown.
