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 services in class 041, specifically providing a website with non‑downloadable video‑gaming publications, arranging and conducting live interactive gaming tournaments, organizing live fan meetings and conferences with interactive gameplay, and offering online video games. A similar name would raise the closest concern for uses that involve any of these gaming‑related services, especially online or live gaming content. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “FORTNITE” in unrelated contexts. The mark’s status was last updated on February 25, 2025, with no enforcement actions recorded in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in the gaming‑services arena.
