Genki, which specializes in crafting accessories for video game consoles, has issued a statement regarding Nintendo’s lawsuit against them. The parent company of Genki, Human Things, is allegedly being sued by Nintendo over several claims, including trademark infringement. The main issue appears to be the display of 3D-printed prototypes of a potential Nintendo Switch 2 at the Consumer Electronics Show before its official unveiling in January. This exhibition sparked a lot of buzz and speculation within the industry.
Genki responds to Nintendo’s lawsuit accusing them of trademark infringement
As a fan, if Nintendo’s lawsuit against Genki proves victorious, they might be compelled to “discontinue all products associated with the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2, and stop utilizing Nintendo’s trademarks once more…” according to an article from VGC. It seems like Genki may already be taking precautions to avoid such issues. Upon visiting their site, one of the top posts highlights their “Glitch 2 Lineup”, which appears to be Switch 2 accessories that are devoid of any Nintendo branding. I’m not a lawyer, so I can only ponder over the legality of this and whether Genki’s “Glitch 2” accessories would also need to be discarded in such a scenario.
In a social media update, Genki addressed the recent lawsuit filed against them by Nintendo. They stated, “You might have noticed that Nintendo has sued us. We’re giving it our full attention and collaborating with legal advisors to formulate a considered response.” The rest of the post emphasized their commitment to quality and originality but didn’t provide many specifics about the lawsuit or their countermeasures. Interestingly, they also mentioned that they would carry on with preparations for fulfilling orders and displaying their latest products at PAX East this week, which could be seen as a sign of defiance against Nintendo’s actions.
It’s well-known in the gaming world that Nintendo often takes legal action against parties involved in leaks, emulation, and even popular indie games like Palworld. In fact, a recent lawsuit involving Palworld brought up some intriguing points when the defendant, Pocketpair, cited examples of other games they believe should also be considered as potential copyright infringements similar to those alleged against Palworld by Nintendo.
Currently, we’re left to watch and see how Nintendo fares amidst this wave of lawsuits. Fans are still in an uproar over the high price of Mario Kart World, which seems to have paved the way for more games now priced at $80. Xbox has warned fans that starting from this holiday season, new releases will be tagged with the expensive $80 price tag as well. It seems inevitable that the rest of the gaming industry will eventually follow suit. One can only speculate how much Grand Theft Auto 6 might cost by this time next year.
