What this record means
The record shows that the mark “FORTNITE” is no longer live; it was terminated after sanctions on February 6, 2024, and the owner is Epic Games, Inc., a corporation organized in North Carolina. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for a very broad set of textile goods, including blankets, pillow cases, shower curtains, and related items, all listed under class 024. A similar name would raise the closest concern for use on those same household textile products, especially blankets and bedding. The record does not give Epic Games control over every use of the word “FORTNITE”; it is limited to the goods listed. The prosecution history shows a series of administrative reviews and a final termination, with no evidence of oppositions or court actions. The supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. If you’re thinking of using a similar name for household textiles, this record suggests a meaningful risk of confusion with Epic Games’ former mark.
