MASTERCHEF
Serial 90532419 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused

Owner: Shine TV Limited
Class 011 -
Filed Feb 17, 2021

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 Shine TV Limited, a company organized in the United Kingdom, and the application was based on a foreign registration under §44(e). The goods covered are a broad range of electric cooking appliances and related accessories, including electric frying pans, electric cooking pots, electric slow cookers, electric pressure cookers, electric table grills, barbecue grills, charcoal grills, kettle barbecue grills, outdoor gas barbecue grills, and various structural parts, fittings, and accessories for those grills, as well as cooking utensils, fitted grill covers, barbecue smokers, barbecue lights, convection ovens, electric cooking ovens, baking ovens, electric grills, stoves, microwave ovens, electric food steamers, refrigerators, freezers, electric coolers, and more. Because the record lists these specific cooking‑related goods, a similar name used for products or services in that same cooking appliance area would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give control over every use of the wording, especially outside the listed cooking appliance classes. The prosecution history shows a series of refusals and a final refusal in April 2023, followed by abandonment in July 2023; no enforcement actions are recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status reduces the risk, but the extensive cooking‑appliance coverage remains a potential concern if the new use is in that same field.
