What this record means
The record shows a pending application for “EPIC GAMES” owned by Epic Games, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and the USPTO lists the status as suspended as of June 3 2026 after a suspension check was completed. The application covers a broad set of virtual‑reality‑related offerings: in class 009 it claims downloadable and recorded VR game software and related computer software; in class 041 it seeks online VR game services, non‑downloadable virtual environments, and virtual goods such as avatars and weapons; and in class 042 it includes hosting, design, development, and programming services for multimedia and virtual‑world platforms. A similar name used for anything in those VR gaming or virtual‑environment spaces would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside that niche are farther from the listed scope. The record does not give Epic Games control over every possible use of the words “Epic” or “Games.” No supplemental‑register activity appears, and the prosecution history is empty, indicating no refusals or amendments. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a name that will sit in the same virtual‑reality gaming or services arena.
