MAMA'S KITCHEN

What this record means

The record shows that “MAMA'S KITCHEN” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the applicant failed to answer a final refusal, with the abandonment notice dated February 2 2015 – and the owner listed is Avedia Foods (Pty) Limited, a South African corporation that filed the intent‑to‑use request on August 20 2013. The only goods shown are “Condiments and sauces” in International Class 030, so a similar name used for food‑related products such as sauces, dressings or other staple food items would be the closest area of concern based on this record. The filing does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “MAMA’S” or “KITCHEN,” especially outside the narrow food‑sauce context. Because the mark was never issued on the Supplemental Register, there is no supplemental‑register examination sequence to note. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on February 2 2015, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to brand a sauce or condiment with a similar name.
