The company that publishes the 鈥淐hoose Your Own Adventure鈥� novels is suing Netflix, seeking $25 million in damages over an interactive film in the science fiction anthology 鈥淏lack Mirror鈥� series.
In the federal suit filed Friday, the Waitsfield, Vermont-based company Chooseco claims Netflix violated its trademark with 鈥淏andersnatch,鈥� released in December.
鈥淏andersnatch鈥� uses a format similar to those of the books, allowing viewers to choose among actions taken by the characters without knowing the outcome.
The suit says the show refers to the gimmick by having the protagonist refer to a book he is adapting into a video game as a 鈥淐hoose Your Own Adventure鈥� novel.
Netflix declined to comment Tuesday.
