# Shark Attack Fantasy League — Trademark Research

Research conducted July 9, 2026. Checked USPTO, App Store, Google Play, Steam, BoardGameGeek, and general web.

## Names Checked

### "Feeding Frenzy" — ❌ NOT SAFE
Electronic Arts owns **live USPTO Registration #2979806** (Class 9: game software, first use 2004). EA/PopCap has sold Feeding Frenzy games continuously since 2004; Feeding Frenzy 2 Deluxe is still on Steam with 97% positive ratings. **11 total USPTO filings found (5 live, 6 dead).** Live filings include:
- EA (game software, Class 9) — active
- Pennington (bird seed, Class 31)
- Fish Tale (clothing, Class 25)
- SF Bay Brand (aquarium accessories, Class 16)

Risk: **HIGH** — any USPTO filing would be rejected for likelihood of confusion, and EA would almost certainly oppose.

### "Shark Attack Fantasy League" — ✅ CLEAR
No trademark registrations or existing games found in any database. The full phrase is distinctive enough for trademark protection.

Risk: **LOW**

### "Shark Attack League" — ✅ CLEAR
No trademark registrations. Minor unrelated uses (esports tournament in India, golf societies) but nothing blocking a game software filing.

Risk: **LOW**

### Close names checked
- "Shark Frenzy" — exists as bean bag toss game (Class 28) and TV show, not video game
- "Fish Frenzy" — board game and slot machine, distinct mark
- "Shark Attack" — amusement park ride, no trademark for video games found

## Recommendation
Register "Shark Attack Fantasy League" in USPTO Class 9 (software) and Class 41 (entertainment services). A professional clearance search by a trademark attorney is advised before paying filing fees.
