MASTERCHEF

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MASTERCHEF” is no longer active; it was cancelled on January 21 2022 because the owner, Shine Television, LLC, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on July 14 2015 in the Principal Register for class 043, covering restaurant, café, bar and catering services, mobile food services, food preparation, an online database of recipes, dining news and commentary, and food delivery via a mobile truck. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same food‑service and online‑information areas. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “MasterChef.” No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement activity. The last meaningful event was the cancellation in 2022, and no further dates are listed. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the specific food‑service and online‑information services remain a potential point of concern.
