MASTER CHEF COLLECTION

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MASTER CHEF COLLECTION” is dead on the Principal Register, having been abandoned on January 3, 2003 because the applicant, Miele, Inc., failed to respond to an Office action. The mark covered the goods “Cooktops, ovens and oven hoods” in class 011. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that same class of kitchen appliances, especially for products that are cooktops, ovens or oven hoods. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights on the Principal Register, but it does not erase any potential rights that might exist in other jurisdictions or on the Supplemental Register. The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of examiner assignment, a non‑final action, and eventual abandonment; no opposition or cancellation events appear. With no visible enforcement activity, the supplied history shows no current enforcement signals. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful concern only for cooktop, oven, or oven hood products, and the risk is limited to that narrow scope.
