Ribeiro is also suing NBA 2K series creators Take-Two Interactive for using the "Carlton Dance".
The actor claims the companies unfairly profited from his "creative expression, likeness and celebrity".
The dance was made famous by his character Carlton Banks in the hit 1990s sitcom starring Will Smith.
Ribeiro famously performed the moves to Tom Jones' It's Not Unusual, and continues to performs it for fans.
The actor has filed legal papers at the US District Court in Central California.
