INDIAN MASTERCHEF

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “INDIAN MASTERCHEF” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an office action. The owner listed is SPICEMART, INC., a California corporation. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 030, covering staple foods such as cinnamon powder, cooking sauces, curry pastes, garlic paste, hot chili pepper sauce, instant spice blends, masala powder, and other spices, with first use in commerce on April 14, 2014. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the area of spice and seasoning products, especially those sold as cooking sauces or spice blends. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording in unrelated fields. No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the abandonment notice on January 4, 2016. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk of conflict, but the specific goods listed still present a notable concern if the new use is in the same or a closely related category.
