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 computer game instruction manuals, calendars and posters; hats, headwear, hooded pullovers, hooded sweatshirts, and t‑shirts; toy action figures; and the arrangement and conduct of live interactive gaming tournaments, fan meetings, and e‑sports competitions. A similar name would raise the closest concern in these specific goods and services, especially in gaming‑related apparel, instructional materials, and live event organization. The record does not grant control over every use of the word “FORTNITE.” The prosecution history shows a straightforward allowance and registration without any supplemental register sequence. The most recent maintenance event is the acceptance of the 6‑year Section 8 renewal on August 28, 2025. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration suggests a meaningful risk of infringement in the listed categories.
