MASTERCHEF

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MASTERCHEF” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Giant Union Company, Inc., a California corporation. It protects the sale of canned foods, specifically water chestnuts and bamboo shoots, under class 029. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of canned processed foods, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “Masterchef.” The prosecution history indicates a straightforward registration with no supplemental register steps. The latest maintenance event is the renewal on February 10, 2026, which keeps the mark active. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that use in canned food products could conflict with this active registration.
