I don't like Epic much but I find this silly to trademark dance moves

 

Once again, the Fortnite developer finds itself in legal trouble for its dance emotes, this time for allegedly using Pellegrino's likeness when designing the "Phone it in" dance emote.

Someone did try to copyright it too but got luckily got denied.  

The filing comes just two months after the US Copyright Office denied actor Alfonso Ribeiro's claim on the Carlton Dance, finding it was "not registrable as a choreographic work."
