Singapore a battleground of commodities fraud lawsuits 
From Propagandist to Criminal Christian metal band Demon Hunter is suing Netflix, alleging trademark infringement associated with the streamer’s hit film KPop Demon Hunters.
The lawsuit was filed on Tuesday by Hyde Lane, the corporate entity for Demon Hunter, against Netflix, Netflix Studios and AEG Presents, the live entertainment division of AEG, with claims that the defendants have “created a substantial likelihood of confusion” among consumers.
The metalcore band – which was formed in 2000 out of Seattle by brothers Ryan and Don Clark – claims the success of the 2025 urban fantasy flick has “eclipse[d]” the group’s “established identity” and “commercial fate”, especially as plans for a KPop Demon Hunters global concert tour were announced in May in partnership with AEG Presents.
Hyde Lane originally trademarked “Demon Hunter” in 2014 under entertainment, namely live performances. To date, the band has released 12 studio albums and amassed more than 348,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
Several of its early music videos, including popular tracks like “Dead Flowers” and “Someone to Hate”, have garnered millions of views online.
In 2022, the company submitted other trademark protections for recorded music and merchandise.
