MASTERCHEF

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “MASTERCHEF” is live and registered on the Principal Register under serial 86958661, owned by SHINE TV LIMITED, a corporation organized in the United Kingdom. The registration covers downloadable mobile software applications for distributing digital video, video files, video games, and multimedia content, as well as downloadable audio and video recordings featuring cooking competition, cooking instruction and recipes, downloadable television shows and video recordings of the same theme, and electronic publications such as books featuring entertainment news, cooking and recipes recorded on computer media and mobile communication devices. A similar name used for any of those digital media or cooking‑related services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give control over every use of the wording, only over the goods and services listed. The prosecution history is empty, so no opposition or cancellation events appear. The latest meaningful event is the registration date of April 21, 2020. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration suggests a meaningful risk of infringement if the new use falls within the same digital cooking‑media scope.
