In October 2023, Amazon and Nintendo filed a lawsuit against counterfeit sellers of fake amiibo and video game cartridges. The sellers ignored the lawsuit, prompting the companies to request a default judgment for over $7 million in damages. The complaint detailed that these sellers breached agreements by selling counterfeit goods, verified by Nintendo. Amazon has closed the offending accounts, while the companies allege trademark infringement and false advertising among other violations. Nintendo implements various strategies to combat counterfeiting, collaborating with Amazon to detect and remove infringing products.
Nintendo utilizes both internal and external resources to combat counterfeit and infringing products, working collaboratively with Amazon to enhance detection and removal.
The group of sellers sold at least $2,343,386 worth of fake Nintendo products, leading Amazon and Nintendo to seek a default judgment exceeding $7 million.
