January 15, 2019 |Courts

The publisher of the Choose Your Own Adventure book series is suing Netflix for a reference in the heavily hyped Black Mirror: Bandersnatch Netflix original production. Chooseco asked for damages of at least $25 million in its trademark infringement and unfair competition docket 19-cv-00008-wks complaint (in Pacer), filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Burlington, Vermont. It said a reference early in the Bandersnatch film about a Choose Your Own Adventure book was done without license or authorization. Netflix didn't comment Monday.
