Nintendo sues Genki for Switch 2 accessory claims

Nintendo is suing a third-party accessory maker, Genki, for trademark infringement and false advertising related to accessories for the recently launched Switch 2 console. Nintendo alleges Genki falsely advertised compatibility with the Switch 2, claiming access to the unreleased console before its April 2 launch. The lawsuit cites trademark violations and unfair competition due to Genki's marketing campaign. Nintendo seeks an injunction against Genki, demanding they cease using its trademarks and destroy infringing materials, along with financial damages. Genki stated they are taking the lawsuit seriously and are preparing to respond.
