Black Mirror: Bandersnatch may have been a novel concept for Netflix viewers, but not for Choosec, the children’s book publisher that owns the “Choose Your Own Adventure” trademark. Choosec claims they were in negotiations with Netflix over a license, and while that never happened, the streaming giant ran with the idea anyway and benefited from its association.
This isn’t the first time that Chooseco has dealt with Netflix. In the complaint, Chooseco says that it sent a cease-and-desist request to the streaming company at least once over the Choose Your Own Adventure trademark in the past. This isn’t the only trademark issue Netflix ran into in 2018. In October, the Satanic Temple filed suit against the streaming company, saying that a copy of the church’s proprietary statue appeared in Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina series.
