KIMCHI MASTERCHEF KOREA

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “KIMCHI MASTERCHEF KOREA” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is Misook Won, a limited liability company organized in Virginia. The mark was filed for services in class 043, covering a wide range of restaurant and hotel services, including food truck parks, sit‑down and take‑out restaurant services, fast‑food and fast‑casual restaurants, and related food and beverage services. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same food‑service context, especially for Korean‑style or joint‑style restaurant services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific services listed. The prosecution history shows a normal examination sequence with a non‑final action and eventual abandonment; no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific restaurant‑service scope remains a potential point of concern.
