Judge Denies Netflix Motion to Reject Trademark Suit

U.S. District Judge William Sessions in Burlington, Vermont, rejected Netflix's motion to dismiss publisher Chooseco's civil complaints about Choose Your Own Adventure in a Black Mirror episode (see 1901140004), according to a 30-page order (in Pacer) Tuesday. Netflix outside counsel didn't comment. Sessions said Chooseco showed consumers associate its mark with interactive books and that the mark covers other forms of interactive media.
