FORTNITE

What this record means

The record shows that “FORTNITE” is a live, registered mark owned by Epic Games, Inc., a corporation organized in Maryland. The mark is on the Principal Register and covers the sale of video game software, specifically electrical and scientific apparatus in class 009. Because the goods listed are video game software, a similar name used for another video game or related software would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Epic Games control over every use of the word “FORTNITE”; it applies only to the specific goods listed. There is no prosecution history indicating a descriptiveness refusal or supplemental registration, so the mark was accepted as is. The latest maintenance event is the renewal noted on May 10, 2024, and no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name in the video‑game software space, this record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
