FORTNITE

What this record means

The record shows a live, Principal Register registration for “FORTNITE” owned by Epic Games, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and it was entered on the register on February 15 2022. The registration covers three classes: Class 024 for “Tablecloths, not of paper,” Class 025 for “Sports jerseys; Sports shirts,” and Class 028 for “Balloons,” with first use dates ranging from January 2021 to October 2021. A similar name used on comparable goods—especially apparel or event‑related items like jerseys or balloons—would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields fall farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give Epic Games control over every possible use of the word “FORTNITE.” The prosecution history shows a straightforward path to registration, with a Notice of Allowance in January 2019 and final registration in February 2022, but no supplemental‑register steps. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market similar products under a comparable name.
