FORTNITE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FORTNITE” is dead, having been abandoned after a decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The owner listed is Huang Pengpeng, an individual. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for goods in class 011, specifically bicycle lights, diving lights, flashlights, lanterns, lighting apparatus, pocket searchlights, portable headlamps, electric torches, and outdoor portable lighting products such as headlamps. Because the record covers only these lighting and illumination products, a similar name used for unrelated goods or services would be a farther concern, while a name used for other lighting products would present a closer record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word “FORTNITE.” No enforcement activity such as oppositions or cancellations appears in the supplied history. The last meaningful status event was the abandonment on July 9, 2019. For someone considering a similar name, the closest risk lies in the lighting and illumination market, and the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects that specific wording in those goods.
