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 video game software and online video game entertainment services in classes 009 and 041, with first use in July 2014. A similar name would raise the closest concern for any use in those same goods or services—particularly online gaming or related software. The record does not give Epic Games control over every use of the word “FORTNITE” outside those classes. The most recent status event is the acceptance of a Sections 8 and 15 combined declaration on January 6, 2025, keeping the mark active. No opposition, cancellation, or court action appears in the supplied history, so there is no visible enforcement signal. For someone considering a similar name, the risk is highest if the new use falls within video game software or online gaming services.
