What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MASTER CHEF OPEN FLAME” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, CFS Holdings, Inc., did not file a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 030, which covers staple foods, specifically barbecue sauce. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the same food category, especially barbecue sauces or related staple food products. This record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “Master Chef” or “Open Flame” in other contexts. The prosecution history indicates that after the Notice of Allowance was mailed, the owner failed to respond, leading to abandonment. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer enforceable, but the specific goods listed still represent a potential area of concern if the new use is in the same food category.
