What this record means
The record shows a pending application that remains suspended, filed on April 18 2019 and last updated on May 19 2026, and the owner listed is Epic Games, Inc., a Maryland corporation. The goods and services are focused on virtual‑reality game software and related online entertainment and technology services in classes 009, 041 and 042, covering downloadable and streamed VR game software, online multiplayer virtual environments, hosting, design, development and content‑creation tools, as well as virtual goods such as avatars and weapons. Because the claim is limited to those specific VR‑related categories, a similar name used for unrelated products—say, a coffee shop or clothing line—would not fall within the immediate scope of this record, though the wording itself is not cleared for all uses. The prosecution history is empty, so there’s no indication of a Supplemental Register filing or any refusals. The only status event is the suspension notice; no enforcement actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to launch a VR game or related online service under the same name.
