Read from gamesindustry biz:
In the suit filed on Monday at the US District Court for the Central District of California (via Reuters), Riot said that "Moonton's strategy is blatant copying."
The LoL developer is seeking "to stop Moonton from continuing its deliberate and sustained campaign to free ride on Riot's highly valuable rights in the mobile video game League of Legends: Wild Rift," the suit added.
It's far from the first time Riot sues Moonton, with a lawsuit from 2017 already attacking Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, following actions against previous titles Magic Rush: Heroes and Mobile Legends: 5v5 MOBA. Each time these games were removed from stores, a new version would pop up soon after, Riot alleged, still infringing the League of Legends IP.
"Over the years, as Riot updated its video game, Moonton would copy it," the most recent lawsuit read. "When Riot updated the game's promotional materials, Moonton copied them. And when Riot released a new trailer, Moonton copied it. This is a critical issue for Riot."
