EPIC AND THE FORTNITE GAME
11.

Founded in 1991, Epic Games, Inc. is a leading video game developer for PC,

console, and mobile platforms.
12.

Fortnite is a survival and action building game where players explore, scavenge

18

gear, build fortified structures, and fight waves of monsters who want to kill the player and her

19

friends.

20

13.

Fortnite was first released in or about October 2013.

21

14.

Epic publicly released Fornite’s free-to-play Battle Royale game mode on or about

22

September 26, 2017.

23

15.

Fortnite is an extremely popular game with over ten million players.

24

16.

In Fortnite’s Battle Royale game mode, players drop into an environment via a

25

glider from a flying battle bus and engage in intense player versus player combat until only one

26

player remains standing. That player wins the game.

video games under the FORTNITE mark.

EPIC’S TERMS OF SERVICE
29.

In order to use or access Epic’s websites, services, products, or content, a user

must agree to the Terms.
30.

The Terms provide that “[t]he Services, including all content, features, and

8

functionality thereof, are owned by Epic, its licensors, or other providers of such material and are

9

protected by United States and international copyright . . . laws.”

10

31.

Additionally, the Terms state that users “are permitted to use the Services for []

11

personal, non-commercial use only or legitimate business purposes related to [a user’s] role as a

12

current or prospective customer of Epic. Except as provided below, [users] must not copy,

13

modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, or transmit any

14

of the material obtained through the Services, or delete, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other

15

proprietary rights notices from copies of materials from the Services.”

16

32.

Under the Terms, users “must not reproduce, sell, or exploit for any commercial

17

purposes any part of the Services, access to the Services or use of the Services or any services or

materials available through the Services.”

2

Defendants agreed to abide by the EULA by downloading and accessing Fortnite.
CHEATS

39.

Cheats modify games to give a user an unfair competitive advantage over other

players.
40.

Cheats give a cheater the power to do or see things that other players cannot do or

17

see. For example, a cheat may enable the user to see through solid objects, teleport, impersonate

18

another player by “spoofing” that player’s user name, or make moves other players cannot, such

19

as a spin followed by an instant headshot to another player.

20
21
22
23

41.

Epic does not allow or support cheats in Fortnite, including in the Battle Royale

game mode.
42.

Players who use cheats ruin the game play experience for those who play without

cheats and undermine the integrity of Fortnite.

107.

Defendants’ unauthorized use of the FORTNITE mark in association with the

videos promoting their cheats, as well as in the unauthorized derivative works created by
Defendants’ cheats, constitute infringement of Epic’s federally registered FORTNITE mark in
violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1114(1).
108.

Because of Epic’s continuous and exclusive use of the FORTNITE mark, it has

come to mean, and is understood by consumers to signify products of Epic.
109.

Defendants’ use of the FORTNITE mark in connection with the sale, offering for

sale, distribution, and advertising of cheats, as well as the use of the FORTNITE mark within the
unauthorized derivative work created by Defendants’ cheats, is likely to cause confusion, mistake,
or deception as to the source, origin, or authenticity of Defendants’ products and services.
110.

Further, Defendants’ activities are likely to lead consumers to conclude,

incorrectly, that Defendants’ products and services originate with or are authorized by Epic, to the
damage and harm of Epic.

Epic has been, and continues to be, damaged by such acts in a manner that cannot

115.

Epic has strong rights in the FORTNITE mark.

116.

Defendants’ actions constitute the use in interstate commerce of a false designation

are likely to cause confusion or mistake, or to deceive as to the affiliation, connection, or
association of Defendants’ products and services with Epic, or as to the origin, sponsorship, or
approval of the goods and services provided by Defendants in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a).
117.

Defendants knew or should have known of Epic’s rights, and Defendants’ false

designation of origin has been knowing, willful, and deliberate, such that the Court should award
Epic its attorneys’ fees pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1117.
118.

Epic has been, and continues to be, damaged by such acts in a manner that cannot

be fully measured or compensated in economic terms. Epic therefore has no adequate remedy at
law and seeks permanent injunctive relief pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1116.

Defendants’ acts have damaged, and threaten to continue damaging, Epic’s

reputation and goodwill.
