Won’t someone please think of the white, Christian men?
Based on what I know of trademark law they have a case. Also, they have sue to protect their trade mark they can loose it.
They have a bit of a case, but not really because "demon hunter" is a generic term that predates their band by hundreds of years (LOL).
Cool, the word "Queen" is generic so I should be able to start a band named that, no problem.
Turns out that 'generic term' is contextual, and in fact many generic terms are trademark protected especially in the musical group area.
What doesn't help your argument is that it seems Netflix ran the concerts under "kpop Demon Hunter" not "Demon Hunter"
Also it doesn't help that there are 65 entries of bands with "Queen" in their name in the metal genre alone.
