Metal Band Demon Hunter Sue Netflix Over KPop Demon Hunters
The Christian metal band alleges trademark infringement. Metal Band Demon Hunter Sue Netflix Over KPop Demon Hunters Spencer Kaufman
Christian metal band Demon Hunter have initiated a lawsuit against Netflix, Netflix Studios, and concert promoter AEG Presents, alleging trademark infringement concerning the upcoming KPop Demon Hunters concert tour and associated merchandise. The lawsuit, filed by Demon Hunter’s corporation Hyde Lane, asserts that the shared name has led to consumer confusion.
A case in point involves a family seeking a refund after erroneously purchasing $500 worth of tickets for what they believed to be a KPop Demon Hunters event, intending to bring their five-year-old and six-year-old daughters. The family expressed frustration, stating, “Is there any way to get a refund or a credit? If I don’t get it refunded, I won’t be able to buy tickets for the actual ‘K pop demon hunters show.’”
The lawsuit also criticizes large corporations for aggressively protecting their intellectual property rights while disregarding those of others for financial gain. Demon Hunter is seeking a trial by jury to reclaim its rightful interests in the Demon Hunter trademark and monetary compensation. Furthermore, the band is requesting Netflix to refrain from using the KPop Demon Hunters name.
Established in 2000, Demon Hunter has released 12 albums throughout their career. Their fall US tour commences on October 7th, with tickets accessible via the provided link.
