A Seattle court has granted Nintendo a default judgment of $7,030,158 against two sellers of counterfeit amiibo. The company, along with Amazon, filed a lawsuit after identifying the sellers who did not respond. Seattle district judge Marsha J. Pechman ruled in favor of Nintendo, emphasizing the harm from trademark violations and ordered the sellers to cease their activities. Nintendo proactively works with Amazon and uses third-party services to detect and eliminate counterfeit products from its platforms, thereby protecting its brand integrity and financial interests.
Nintendo utilizes both internal and external resources to combat counterfeit and infringing products. Nintendo works with a third-party brand protection service vendor on the detection and removal of product listings violating Nintendo's IP rights.
The counterfeiting scheme caused harm to Nintendo's reputation and goodwill, as well as direct financial harm in the form of lost sales.
