Banilla Games sues Fusion Group Games for IP infringement

21 Aug 2024

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Today, Banilla Games filed suit against Fusion Group Games, alleging infringement of Banilla's intellectual property. Specifically, Banilla alleges that Fusion Group Games is intentionally and willfully infringing Banilla's statutory and common law rights in and to its Fusion and Banilla Games and trademarks. Banilla is seeking, among other remedies, a permanent injunction, actual damages, Fusion Group's profits, punitive and enhanced damages, attorneys' fees, and costs.

Last month, Banilla attempted to resolve this dispute without court intervention, sending Fusion Group Games a cease-and-desist letter regarding Fusion Group's unauthorized use and infringement of Banilla's IP. Fusion Group's lack of a meaningful response suggested to Banilla that Fusion Group did not take seriously its infringement of Banilla's IP. Left with little other option, Banilla filed suit.

Banilla is a highly successful designer, developer, and distributor of products for various board, nudge, skill, redemption, and amusement game markets. In particular, Banilla's "Fusion" line of electronic skill games has seen tremendous commercial success.

In late 2021, Banilla began an IP enforcement campaign. To date, Banilla has brought 37 cases for IP infringement against locations, route operators, and domestic and Chinese manufacturers. Those cases have been in 11 federal judicial districts across seven states and include several awards and settlements for "six-figure" amounts.
