Lawyers for the company did not return CNN's request for comment. Narcos Productions, LLC, the company behind the series, has contested some of Escobar Inc.'s trademark requests, according to documents obtained by THR. The company also seeks to defend its quest to copyright key terms related to the series and a related video game, "Narcos: Cartel Wars."
Gustafsson, chief executive officer of Escobar Inc., contended in an interview with CNNMoney that the company's request might sound "crazy" but they believe that "Narcos" is the streaming giant's most successful series and, he said, "it was never done with our authorization." It claims the streaming service has reaped substantial financial benefits from the popular global series by using Escobar's name and story. In July of 2016, his company requested $1 billion compensation from Netflix for what it contends are intellectual property violations. He is also the founder of holding company Escobar Inc. Roberto De Jesus Escobar Gaviria is Pablo Escobar's brother and former accountant. In that interview, speaking of "Narcos," which based its first two seasons on Pablo Escobar's life, he reportedly said he would "close their little show" if the streaming service did not reach a settlement agreement with him. In the wake of Portal's death, Pablo Escobar's brother is bringing his year-long trademark dispute with Netflix back into the headlines through an interview he gave The Hollywood Reporter (THR).
