FORTNITE
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FORTNITE” is dead; Epic Games, Inc., a corporation organized in Maryland, abandoned the application because no Statement of Use or Extension Request was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The only goods listed are bobble head dolls in class 028, so the closest concern would be for similar toy items. This abandonment does not mean the wording is free for all uses; it only indicates that Epic no longer holds a registration for that specific mark. The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of office actions, extensions, and a final abandonment, with no evidence of enforcement activity. The last significant event was the abandonment notice on January 6, 2020. For anyone thinking of using a similar name, the record suggests a potential but limited risk in the toy doll space, while other uses may still face different or no concerns.
