MASTERCHEF

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MASTERCHEF” is dead because the applicant, SHINE TV LIMITED, failed to respond to an Office action and the application was abandoned on October 23, 2018. The mark was filed on March 30, 2016 under the Principal Register and covered a wide range of kitchen and barbecue utensils, including knives, forks, spoons, chef knives, cake cutters, pizza cutters, can openers, cheese slicers, disposable tableware, electric and non‑electric razors, fish scalers, hand‑operated kitchen appliances, spatulas, slicers, peelers, ice shavers, pasta cutters, nut crackers, palette knives, thread snips, zesters, knife sharpeners, barbecue sets, and barbecue basting brushes. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same categories of kitchen and barbecue tools. The record does not grant control over all uses of the wording, only the specific goods listed. The prosecution history shows a series of refusals and suspensions, but no final registration or Supplemental Register entry. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark is no longer active, but the detailed goods list still signals a potential concern if the same or closely related items are offered.
