+# 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.
