MASTERCHEFSerial 78001233 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: WINGAR INDUSTRIAL INC.
Class 008 -
Filed Mar 27, 2000
The record shows that the mark “MASTERCHEF” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The owner listed is WINGAR INDUSTRIAL INC., a California corporation, and the mark was filed on March 27, 2000. The goods covered are hand tools and cutlery, including knives, forks, flatware, stainless steel and sterling silver table knives, forks and spoons, barbecue tools such as basting brushes, grill brushes, tongs and forks, and kitchen gadgets. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of kitchen and barbecue utensils. The record does not give the mark control over all uses of the word “Masterchef.” The prosecution history shows a non‑final action mailed on August 14, 2000, followed by abandonment on May 3, 2001, with no further maintenance or enforcement events recorded. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name, this history suggests a meaningful concern in the kitchen utensil market, but it does not preclude all other uses.

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.
