MASTERCHEF USASerial 77863305 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Reveille Independent, LLC
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Nov 02, 2009
The record shows that the mark “MASTERCHEF USA” is dead, having been abandoned after the owner, Reveille Independent, LLC, failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request following the Notice of Allowance. The mark was filed as a service mark on the Principal Register for entertainment services in the nature of an ongoing reality‑based television program featuring a cooking competition for amateur chefs. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over every use of the wording “MasterChef” or “USA.” The prosecution history indicates the mark was initially approved for publication and then allowed, but the abandonment means there is no current registration to enforce. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be in the realm of televised cooking competitions; otherwise, the record suggests a lower risk of conflict.

The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
