What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MASTER CHEF TARGET” is dead; it was abandoned because the owner, CFS Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance on April 15, 2003. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 030, specifically for barbecue sauce. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in all contexts. The closest concern for a new name would be in the same category—barbecue sauce or related staple foods—since that is the only goods description listed. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations, or court actions, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone looking to use a similar name, the risk is limited to potential confusion in the barbecue sauce market, but the mark itself is no longer enforceable.
