What this record means
The record shows that “FORTNITE BALLISTIC” is a live, registered service mark owned by Epic Games, Inc., a corporation organized in Maryland. The mark is registered on the Principal Register with serial 98891720 and registration number 7934828, having been filed on December 9, 2024 and registered on September 9, 2025. It covers the provision of temporary use of online non‑downloadable computer and video game software, specifically first‑person shooters, under class 042. A similar name would raise the closest concern in the same category of online gaming services, especially first‑person shooters. The record does not give Epic Games control over every use of the words “Fortnite” or “Ballistic” in unrelated contexts. The prosecution history shows a standard examination with a notice of registration confirmation and no opposition or cancellation events. The latest status event is the registration confirmation on September 9, 2025, and no enforcement activity is visible. For someone considering a similar name, the presence of a live, registered mark in the same gaming services category suggests a meaningful risk of confusion.
