FORTNITE BALLISTIC

What this record means

The record shows that “FORTNITE BALLISTIC” is an abandoned application, not a live or registered mark, and it was owned by Epic Games, Inc., a corporation organized in Maryland. The filing covered Class 009 computer and video game software that can be downloaded, specifically first‑person shooter games, and Class 042 online entertainment services that provide non‑downloadable first‑person shooter video games. Because the goods and services are narrowly focused on downloadable and online shooter games, a similar name used for anything outside that niche—such as apparel, food, or unrelated software—would be farther from the scope shown here, while a name used for another shooter‑type game would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give Epic Games control over every possible use of the words “Fortnite” or “Ballistic.” The latest meaningful event is the abandonment after an inter‑ partes decision by the TTAB, recorded on September 2 2026, and no enforcement actions appear in the history. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable shooter‑game brand.
