FORTNITE
Live · Registered LIVE/REGISTRATION/Issued and Active
What this record means
The record shows that “FORTNITE” is a live, registered mark owned by Epic Games, Inc., a corporation organized in Maryland. The mark is on the Principal Register and was registered on July 7, 2020, with a status date of January 22, 2026. The goods and services covered are primarily downloadable and online virtual goods, including computer software programs, in‑game tokens, virtual currency, and related financial services for video games and online virtual worlds. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same digital gaming and virtual currency space, especially where the name is used for downloadable software or online gaming services. The record does not give Epic Games control over every use of the word “FORTNITE” in unrelated contexts. No enforcement activity—oppositions, cancellations, or court actions—is visible in the supplied history. The next consequential date is the status date of January 22, 2026. For anyone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in the gaming and virtual‑currency arena.
