FORTNITE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “FORTNITE” is dead and was cancelled because the registrant, Epic Games, Inc., did not file an acceptable Section 8 declaration. The mark had been registered on the Principal Register in December 2019 for two classes: class 009, covering video game software, and class 041, covering entertainment services such as providing online video games. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same classes, especially where the goods or services involve video game software or online gaming entertainment. The record does not give Epic Games control over every use of the word “FORTNITE” in all contexts. The latest meaningful event was the cancellation on July 10, 2026, and no enforcement actions such as oppositions or court proceedings appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status reduces the risk, but the prior registration in the gaming classes still signals a potential concern if the new use is closely related to video games or online gaming services.
