FORTNITE

What this record means

This record shows that the mark “FORTNITE” is no longer live; it was cancelled on October 23, 2015 because the registrant, Fortnite, LLC, failed to file a declaration under Section 8. The mark was once registered on the Principal Register on March 17, 2009 for class 036, covering financial transaction and payment processing services such as calculating and making payments of worker compensation premiums to insurance carriers. A similar name would raise the closest concern in that specific financial services area. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “FORTNITE.” The prosecution history shows the mark was allowed on the Principal Register after a statement of use was accepted, but the cancellation in 2015 ended its enforceability. No oppositions, extensions, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the main risk lies in the financial services sector where this cancelled mark once had protection.
