Demon Hunter Band Sues Netflix Over KPop Demon Hunters Name Dispute
American Christian metal band Demon Hunter has filed a lawsuit against Netflix, alleging trademark infringement over the name of Netflix's animated franchise KPop Demon Hunters. The band, active since 2000, claims Netflix's use of the name in music, merchandise, and live events causes consumer confusion and overlaps with their established brand. The lawsuit, filed in California, cites examples of mistaken ticket purchases and misdirected inquiries, highlighting concerns about brand association as Netflix expands the franchise beyond its original film.
