MASTER-CHEF

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MASTER‑CHEF” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is I.G.S. International Global Sources LLC, a limited liability company organized in Indiana. The goods covered are washing machines for clothes and related components, as well as a broad range of electric and gas cooking appliances, ovens, stoves, refrigerators, ventilation hoods, microwave ovens, and clothes dryers. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the appliance and household cooking categories, especially for products that are sold as components or complete units. The record does not grant control over every use of the wording; it only reflects the abandoned application’s scope. The prosecution history shows a standard sequence of office actions and a suspension, but no enforcement activity appears. The latest event is the abandonment notice on June 23, 2026. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the specific appliance classes still present a meaningful concern if the new use overlaps those goods.
