FORTNITE
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
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 printed material, specifically a series of fiction books and short stories featuring scenes and characters based on video games, first used in commerce on October 1, 2019. A similar name used for other goods or services would raise the closest concern only if those goods or services are also related to video‑game‑based fiction or printed media; uses far outside that scope would be less directly comparable. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “FORTNITE.” The most recent maintenance event is the notice of registration confirmation emailed on June 21, 2022. No opposition, cancellation, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the visible risk is that using “FORTNITE” for video‑game‑based printed fiction could conflict with this registered mark.
