US band Demon Hunter is suing Netflix for trademark infringement, claiming the hit film's name causes confusion among fans. The band, who have released music and toured for 25 years, say Netflix's plans for a global concert tour and merchandise overlap with their offerings. They are requesting a court order to prevent Netflix from employing the name for music, live performances, and associated merchandise.
