What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FORTNITE STORM CHASERS” is dead and was abandoned by Epic Games, Inc., a corporation organized in Maryland, after the applicant failed to respond to an office action. The mark was filed on June 12, 2014, on the Principal Register for services in class 042, specifically “providing customized on‑line web pages and data feeds, featuring user‑defined information, which includes blog posts, new media content, other on‑line content, and on‑line web links to other websites, and which excludes social networking services.” Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give Epic Games control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows a final refusal in April 2015 and abandonment in November 2015, with no subsequent enforcement activity recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be in the same online content and data feed services; however, the abandoned status means the risk is lower, though the wording is still protected in that specific service area.
