Christian Metal Band Demon Hunter Sues Netflix, AEG Over ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Trademark
The group argues they have been “forced to surrender control over its commercial identity simply because Defendants have greater resources”
Christian metal band Demon Hunter sued Netflix and AEG Presents on Tuesday, alleging trademark infringement and unfair competition over the use of the “KPop Demon Hunters” name.
In the filing, which was obtained and viewed by TheWrap, the band (via their corporation Hyde Lane) accused the companies of “jealously guard[ing] and enforc[ing] their own intellectual property rights” while “willfully disregarding the rights of others in pursuit of profits.”
“Demon Hunter [is] a well- known and celebrated metal band. Demon Hunter was formed at the turn of the century and, in the quarter-century since, it has consistently released albums, toured, and sold merchandise to a large and dedicated audience,” the Tuesday filing stated. “Unfortunately, in 2025, Netflix and Netflix Studios—despite almost certainly being aware of Demon Hunter—chose to release a movie titled ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ … [which] reached unprecedented levels of success, not only as a film on Netflix’s streaming service, but also via the ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ movie soundtrack album and merchandise.”
Christian metal band Demon Hunter sue Netflix over KPop Demon Hunters name
Christian metal band Demon Hunter are suing Netflix in a trademark lawsuit over the streamer's hit film Kpop Demon Hunters.
The US group, who have been releasing music and touring for 25 years, said Netflix's plan for a global concert tour, along with the movie and merchandise, means there is "almost complete overlap" with their offerings.
Filed on Tuesday by the band's company Hyde Lane, the complaint claims Netflix Studios and live promoter AEG Presents have caused "substantial confusion" among consumers.
They included email evidence from someone who allegedly spent $500 on tickets for a Demon Hunter concert in New York, thinking it was a child-friendly Kpop show for their small children.

Netflix Gets Sued, Faces Unexpected KPop Demon Hunters Legal Battle
A popular Netflix title has landed the streamer in an unexpected trademark fight. Christian metal group Demon Hunter has taken legal action against Netflix and AEG Presents, arguing that the name KPop Demon Hunters clashes with the band's long-established commercial identity.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday through the band's corporation Hyde Lane and obtained by TheWrap, centers on how closely the two names resemble each other. The group claims Netflix and its partners were "almost certainly aware of" Demon Hunter before releasing the 2025 animated film. The filing says the band has spent decades building recognition through albums, tours, and merchandise
The dispute gained extra weight as the movie expanded beyond streaming. Its soundtrack and merchandise became major parts of the franchise, while Netflix teamed with AEG for a worldwide concert tour planned across 150 cities.
