MASTER CHEF SERIES

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MASTER CHEF SERIES” is no longer active; it was cancelled on September 12, 2009 because the registrant failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The owner listed is LLOYDS IP HOLDINGS, LLC, a California limited liability company. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 011, covering an outdoor barbecue grill with a customizable surrounding island that was first used in commerce in November 2001. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the specific area of outdoor grilling equipment, especially if the new use involves a comparable product or a related accessory. The cancellation does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only removes the protection that existed for that particular product. The prosecution history shows the mark was published for opposition, registered, and then cancelled; no opposition or court actions are recorded. Since the supplied history shows no enforcement activity, the owner has not publicly challenged other uses. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk but does not eliminate potential concerns in the outdoor grill market.
