What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MASTERCHEF” is dead and was abandoned by its owner, Shine Television, LLC, a California limited liability company, because the owner never filed a Statement of Use or an Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for the single class 033, which covers wines and sparkling wines. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the wine and sparkling wine market, but the record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording in other industries. The prosecution history is empty, so no descriptive refusal or Supplemental Register move is shown. The last meaningful event was the abandonment on September 22, 2014. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the record suggests a moderate risk of conflict if the new use is in the wine or sparkling wine sector.
