FORTNITE

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 electrical and scientific apparatus, specifically computer peripherals and accessories such as headsets, and cell phone cases, with first use in commerce on May 6, 2021. A similar name would raise the closest concern for those same goods—headsets and cell‑phone cases—because the record lists those exact items. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “FORTNITE”; it only protects the specific goods listed. There is no prosecution history indicating a descriptiveness refusal or Supplemental Register move, so the mark remains on the Principal Register. The latest significant event is the registration date of September 7, 2021, and no enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is that using “FORTNITE” for headsets or cell‑phone cases could trigger a claim of infringement.
