EPIC GAMES
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
What this record means
The record shows that “EPIC GAMES” is a live, Principal Register service mark owned by Epic Games, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and it has been registered since November 8 2022. The registration covers a range of online and communication services tied directly to video‑games and e‑sports, including an on‑line retail store for game software (class 035), internet audio‑video broadcasting and streaming of game‑related content (class 038), entertainment webcasts about games (class 041), customized web pages and data feeds featuring game information (class 042), and an online social‑networking platform for games (class 045). A similar name used in any of those same digital‑gaming contexts would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those classes are farther from the listed scope but not automatically free of risk. The latest meaningful event is the registration date of November 8 2022; no further maintenance dates are supplied. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions, so the supplied history shows none. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name that will sit in the same online‑gaming space.
