FORTNITE PARTY ROYALE
Dead · Refused DEAD/APPLICATION/Refused/Dismissed or Invalidated
What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FORTNITE PARTY ROYALE” was abandoned by Epic Games, Inc., a corporation organized in Maryland, after the applicant failed to file a Statement of Use or an extension request following the Notice of Allowance. The mark was never registered; it was only allowed on the Principal Register and then abandoned. The goods and services listed cover downloadable software for social networking, streaming multimedia, and virtual environments, as well as online community forums, broadcasting services, entertainment services, computer hosting, and online social networking apps. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the areas of online social networking, virtual environments, and streaming entertainment, because those are the specific services the record covers. The record does not give Epic Games control over every use of the wording in all contexts. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. The latest status event is the abandonment notice on April 17, 2023. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests a meaningful risk of confusion in the online social networking and virtual entertainment space.
