What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FORTNITER” was registered on the Principal Register on June 18, 1963, but it is now dead because the owner, Excelsior Associates, Inc., failed to renew it. The only goods listed are men’s raincoats and shirts in class 025, so the closest concern would arise if you used the name for apparel, especially outerwear. The record does not give the mark control over any other uses of the word. The prosecution history is empty except for a single expired Section 9 notice in 1988, indicating the mark was never challenged or amended. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you’re thinking of a similar name for clothing, especially rainwear, this expired registration still signals a potential risk.
