Overview

• Court filings show Genki’s parent, Human Things, will pay an undisclosed sum under a confidential settlement that ends the case without a trial.
• The order bars use of Nintendo trademarks or names such as Nintendo, Switch, Switch 2 and Joy-Con, and prohibits product titles including Glitch, Glitch 2, Genki Direct and Genki Indirect.
• Genki must clearly identify itself as an unlicensed accessory maker and avoid packaging or product color schemes designated as core Nintendo palettes, including red and white, red and blue, green and pink, blue and yellow, purple and orange, pink and yellow, and purple and green.
• The settlement permits limited nominative fair use of Nintendo branding only for accurate, verifiable compatibility claims or to clarify lack of affiliation.
• Genki attests it did not access unreleased Nintendo property before the official reveal, while its CES 2025 mockups and logo-bearing video had prompted Nintendo’s claims of trademark infringement, unfair competition and false advertising.
