What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FORTNITE” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by Epic Games, Inc., a corporation organized in Maryland. The registration covers clothing goods in class 025, specifically hats, headwear, hooded pullovers, hooded sweat shirts, and T‑shirts, with first use in commerce on September 15, 2018. A similar name used for those same types of apparel would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Epic Games control over every use of the word “FORTNITE”; it is limited to the listed goods. The mark is not on the Supplemental Register, so no special examination sequence applies. The most recent status event is the status date of February 11, 2025, and no other maintenance or renewal dates are supplied. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. For someone considering a similar name in apparel, this history suggests a meaningful risk of conflict.
