MASTERCHEF
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
What this record means
The record shows that “MASTERCHEF” is a live, registered mark on the Principal Register owned by Shine TV Limited, a corporation organized in the United Kingdom. The mark covers downloadable audio and video recordings, software, cookbooks, and related content in the fields of food, cooking, recipes, nutrition, and meal planning (class 009) as well as entertainment services and cooking instruction (class 041). A similar name would raise the closest concern for uses that involve food‑related media, software, or cooking instruction, especially in the same or overlapping classes. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “Masterchef” outside these specific goods and services. The prosecution history shows the mark was allowed and registered without a Supplemental Register transfer, and the most recent event is the Notice of Registration Confirmation on May 19, 2026. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that any use in food‑related media or cooking instruction could be seen as infringing this active, registered mark.
