Lewis Galoob Toys, Inc. was a
toy company best known for creating
Micro Machines and the video game cheat device called
Game Genie. The
South San Francisco-based company was founded by
Barbara Frankel and
Lewis Galoob in
1954 as an import business. Before it was purchased by
Hasbro in
1998, it was the third largest toymaker in the
United States.
Galoob was involved in a landmark intellectual property lawsuit, Lewis Galoob Toys, Inc. v. Nintendo of America, Inc. . Nintendo charged that the Game Genie violated copyright by creating an unlicensed derivative of their copyrighted game. Galoob won the suit.
