MASTER CHEF
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MASTER CHEF” was registered on the Principal Register in 2005 but was cancelled in 2012 because the owner, CFS Holdings, Inc., did not file a required declaration. The cancelled registration covered two classes: 029, which lists cranberry sauce and grape jelly, and 030, which lists sauces used with baked beans. A similar name would raise the closest concern for products that are sauces or processed foods, especially those sold as cranberry sauce, grape jelly, or bean‑bean sauces. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “master” or “chef” in unrelated contexts. No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations after publication, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the 2012 cancellation. For anyone thinking of using a similar name, the cancelled registration still signals that the owner had a claim in those specific food products, so caution is warranted in that area.
