Capcom registers 'Capcom Fighters Network' trademark, could use the name for a computer program or online portal

trademark registration for "Capcom Fighters Network" that the House of Street Fighter has filed earlier this month with the United States Patent and Trademark Office has gone live, EventHubs has learned.

According to the coverage description for the Capcom Fighters Network (CFN) trademark, the name could potentially be used on at least two different things.

The first is a computer program that would "enable uploading, accessing, posting, displaying, tagging, blogging, linking, sharing or otherwise providing images, information, data and electronic media over the Internet" -- which sounds like it might potentially be a tool for players to share replays or screenshots, possibly for Street Fighter 5.

And the second way in which the Capcom Fighters Network could potentially manifest, is an online portal that would let users pull up their friends' "ranking or scores of games through the websites", sign up for tournaments and leagues, take surveys, and even play "on-line [sic] interactive multiplayer games", among other things.

The Capcom Fighters Network trademark was filed first in Japan on April 1, and subsequently in the U.S. on April 2. We were unable to find a public listing for a similar trademark filing for Europe, but it is likely that the games maker registered the trademark for that region too.

Although the trademark coverage description provides a number of very solid ideas on all the various forms of services the Capcom Fighters Network could potentially offer, it's still fairly hard to ascertain at this point what exactly the CFN is for, or how it's different from the Capcom Pro Tour and Capcom Unity portals.

We've reached out to Capcom for clarification on what Capcom Fighters Network could be about, but the fighting games maker has declined to comment at this juncture.
