The company that publishes the BԪַChoose Your Own AdventureBԪַ novels is suing Netflix, seeking $25 million in damages over an interactive film in the science fiction anthology BԪַBlack MirrorBԪַ series.

In the federal suit filed Friday, the Waitsfield, Vermont-based company Chooseco claims Netflix violated its trademark with BԪַBandersnatch,BԪַ released in December.

BԪַBandersnatchBԪַ uses a format similar to those of the books, allowing viewers to choose among actions taken by the characters without knowing the outcome.

The suit says the show refers to the gimmick by having the protagonist refer to a book he is adapting into a video game as a BԪַChoose Your Own AdventureBԪַ novel.

Netflix declined to comment Tuesday.
