Case Study: Games Workshop v. Amazon Sellers
Title:
They Blinked: Games Workshop Dropped Our Clients the Night Before the Hearing
Overview:
In a classic example of brand overreach, Games Workshop filed a sealed Schedule A lawsuit accusing dozens of Amazon sellers—including our clients—of counterfeiting, simply for using phrases like "compatible with Warhammer." The claims were not only baseless—they were misleading.
Clients Involved:
- ZenART (fine art tools) – CEO of ECom Trade Ltd.
- WetNDri (painting palettes) – CEO of Fun Design Ltd.
- Rhand (fantasy dice) – CEO of MakerOne LLC
The Issue:
- Games Workshop filed under seal
- Secured a TRO without notice
- Froze our clients’ Amazon and PayPal accounts
- Action was based solely on nominative fair use language — no logos, no fakes, just compatible, original goods
Our Approach:
- Filed opposition to the preliminary injunction
- Presented nominative fair use as a valid defense
- Pushed for public exposure and court review
- Appeared in court while other sellers settled or remained anonymous
Outcome:
- Games Workshop voluntarily dismissed all claims against our clients the night before the hearing
- We remained in the case to protect our clients’ rights under the Lanham Act and ensure a fair resolution
- While the court did not award attorneys’ fees, our clients achieved a full dismissal
Why It Matters:
- This wasn’t just about dice or paintbrushes; it’s about fighting back against overbroad trademark enforcement.
- It’s about standing up for fair commerce on platforms like Amazon.
