The American court refused to sort out the conflict between Riot Games and Moonton. The case should be transferred to China
The District Court of California stated that the companies had previously sued in China, and he sees no reason why proceedings should now take place in the United States. In addition, Moonton is a Shanghai studio, and Riot Games belongs to the Chinese giant Tencent.
Riot Games has already announced that it is preparing to appeal. She recalled that she is an American company, and called the court’s decision “contrary to common sense.”
Riot Games filed a lawsuit against Moonton in a California court in May 2022. She accused Chinese developers of plagiarism, claiming that their game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is too similar to League of Legends: Wild Rift. However, the conflict between the studios itself has been going on since 2017.
