What this record means
The record shows that the mark “MASTERCHEF” was registered on the Principal Register in class 024 for towels, pot holders, and oven mitts, but it was cancelled on January 17 2020 because the registrant, Shine TV Limited, a corporation organized in the United Kingdom, failed to file a Section 8 declaration. The cancellation means the mark is no longer live and no longer provides protection. The goods listed—towels, pot holders, oven mitts—are the only scope shown, so a similar name used for those items would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Masterchef.” No enforcement activity such as oppositions or court actions appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful event was the cancellation in early 2020. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status suggests a lower risk for those specific goods, but the name may still be problematic if used in the same category.
