Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against Genki, an accessory maker, for trademark infringement, unfair competition, and false advertising following Genki's unauthorized display of mockups for the upcoming Switch 2 at CES 2025. The suit claims Genki misled consumers by asserting compatibility with the console despite lacking official access and using the Switch logo. Although Genki initially suggested it had a prototype, the company later clarified that its designs were based on leaked information. Nintendo asserts this deceptive practice threatens sales and undermines the brand's credibility after the Switch 2 was officially announced shortly after Genki's CES appearance.
Nintendo's filing claims that Genki exploited public interest in the Switch 2 through unauthorized accessories and false advertising, ultimately infringing on their trademark.
Despite initial claims of possessing a black market console, Genki admitted their mockups were based solely on leaks, raising questions about their credibility.
