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 a wide range of goods and services, including electronic game services and competitions, computer peripheral devices such as wireless speakers, gaming chairs, various toy and collectible items, and even clothing items like footwear and caps. A similar name would raise the closest concern in areas that overlap with these goods and services, especially electronic gaming and related merchandise. This record does not give Epic Games control over every use of the word “FORTNITE”; it applies only to the specific classes listed. The latest status event is the registration date of November 8, 2022, and no enforcement actions such as oppositions or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of this active registration in the gaming and related product categories suggests a meaningful risk of infringement in those areas.
