Kano claims Warner nicked its smart wand
 

He who should not be named approves

A court case is brewing between the makers of a kiddie-friendly smart-wand and Warner Brothers.

In 2018, Warner announced a partnership with Kano to release a Harry Potter coding wand that brought the magical world of the franchise to life.

Now Alex Klein, the cofounder and CEO of Kano, claims the studio, which controls the intellectual property of the Harry Potter brand, has infringed on Kano’s technology to develop a new smart magic wand.

Klein alleges that after discussions with Warner fell flat, the company took the intellectual property belonging to Kano to launch a competing wand, called the Harry Potter Magic Caster Wand.

He claims it is a messed up scenario for a small company as it has been really ripped off by a big outfit.

Warner insists the claims are without merit and its development of the Magic Caster Wand has nothing to do with Kano’s allegedly confidential information and did not involve any improper use of Kano’s allegedly confidential information.
