What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MASTER CHEF” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action. The owner listed is Infoserve Technologies Corp., a corporation organized in New York. The mark was filed on April 10, 2002 and was abandoned on July 11, 2003. It covered computer software for restaurant management and analysis in class 009, with first use in June 2000. Because the goods are software for restaurant management, a similar name used for unrelated software or services would be farther from the specific scope shown by this record, while a name used in the same restaurant‑management software field would present a closer concern. The record does not give control over every use of the wording; it only reflects the abandoned application. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific software context remains a potential point of concern.
