MASTERCHEF AMERICASerial 77863314 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Reveille Independent, LLC
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Nov 02, 2009
The record shows that the mark “MASTERCHEF AMERICA” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Reveille Independent, LLC, did not file a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was filed on November 2, 2009 and was published for opposition on April 6, 2010. It was granted a Notice of Allowance on June 1, 2010, but the abandonment was finalized on January 3, 2011. The goods and services listed are entertainment services in the nature of an ongoing reality‑based television program featuring a cooking competition for amateur chefs, provided through television broadcasts. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the closest concern for a similar name would be in the same television‑broadcasting cooking‑competition context. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “MasterChef” or “America.” No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status suggests a lower risk, but the specific television‑cooking‑competition scope remains a potential concern.

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.
