What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MASTER CHEF” is no longer live; it was cancelled on May 31 2013 because the registrant, CFS Holdings, Inc., did not file a required Section 8 declaration. The mark was once registered on the Principal Register for class 030, covering barbecue sauce, with first use in June 2000. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use in the same food product category, especially barbecue sauce, because that is the only goods listed. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “MASTER” or “CHEF” in other contexts. The prosecution history shows a straightforward registration and later cancellation, with no opposition or enforcement actions recorded. The latest meaningful event was the cancellation in 2013, and no further dates are supplied. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific food‑product claim remains a potential point of concern.
