They can make a case, but they can’t make a case that profits off of property and designs that are owned by valve, which the companion cube is. The normal process would be to reach out to valve and request a license to produce it. Dbrand didn’t do that, and valve told them to stop.
Whether you agree with IP laws or not, this is how the laws currently function and dbrand has to know that. So this was a really stupid blunder for them to make.

This is the 2nd time they have done this in 5 years. First was ps5 cases in 2021. They changed the design enough to invalidate ip theft and relaunched.
They absolutely know what they are doing.
