FORTNITE BATTLE ROYALE
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FORTNITE BATTLE ROYALE” is dead, having been abandoned because the owner, Epic Games Inc., never filed a Statement of Use or Extension Request after the Notice of Allowance. The mark was registered on the Principal Register and covered a range of goods and services: computer game instruction manuals, printed fiction and comic books, calendars and posters, various clothing items such as hats and T‑shirts, toy action figures, and a suite of entertainment services including live gaming tournaments, fan meetings, and e‑sports competitions. A similar name would raise the closest concern in any of those areas, especially where the goods or services overlap with video‑game related content or apparel. The record does not give Epic Games control over every use of the wording, only over the specific classes listed. No enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. The latest event was the abandonment notice on April 18, 2022. If you’re thinking of a similar name, be aware that the abandoned status removes the active registration, but the earlier registration still signals that Epic Games once claimed rights in those specific goods and services.
