I'm actually surprised they won any of these lawsuits. I know just a little about trademarks, since I was going to apply for one once. Everything I read said trademarks applied to specific industries. For example, the Miniature Golf industry is so dissimilar to the Cable (Consumer Electronics) Industry, Monster should not have had a case. Guess this is why I'm not a lawyer.

If you want better cables at 1/3 of the Monster price, then go with Dayton.

I have never in my life, truly and sincerely, wanted to see a company completely fail and go down in flames. Congratulations, Monster Cable is the first!

I plan on telling anyone that I see even LOOK at anything monster brand to purchase ANYTHING else. Not only because of their horribly unethical business practices, but also because their products terrifically overpriced.]]>Apr 9th 2009 6:46PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/09/monster-cable-learns-nothing-sues-monster-transmission/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/09/monster-cable-learns-nothing-sues-monster-transmission/
Here's a hint for you. Ask 100 people what product comes to mind when the word "monster" is used. I guarantee you most people will say Monster Energy Drink, or Monster.com. Hell, even the cookie monster. But I bet hardly anyone would say Monster Cable. It seems that every comment you read about these Monster lawsuits are from people saying they are so disgusted with Monsters business practices, that they refuse to buy Monster Cables at all..... Maybe Monster should realize they are getting TONS of negative press about these stupid lawsuits, and are actually LOSING money by pursuing them. I know I will never buy another Monster Cable product, and I know I'm not alone when I say that.

Just imagine Ted. If Monster alienates even 1,000 people with their lawsuits (my guess is its even higher), think of how much revenue you are losing? 1,000 people x $100 per cable (ripoff) and you just lost 100k in revenue. Seems like you guys need to go back to business school. You should maybe try majoring in Business Ethics, since it seems like that concept has escaped your grasps. ]]>Apr 9th 2009 7:33PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/09/monster-cable-learns-nothing-sues-monster-transmission/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/09/monster-cable-learns-nothing-sues-monster-transmission/

Is there a demographic out there that has the money to buy their shit and NOT know what a rip off they are? Are they a big enough group to fuel Monster's ridiculous litigation fees?]]>Apr 10th 2009 11:07AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/09/monster-cable-learns-nothing-sues-monster-transmission/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/09/monster-cable-learns-nothing-sues-monster-transmission/Apr 10th 2009 2:10PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/09/monster-cable-learns-nothing-sues-monster-transmission/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/09/monster-cable-learns-nothing-sues-monster-transmission/Apr 10th 2009 4:48PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/09/monster-cable-learns-nothing-sues-monster-transmission/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/09/monster-cable-learns-nothing-sues-monster-transmission/Apr 10th 2009 3:51PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/09/monster-cable-learns-nothing-sues-monster-transmission/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/04/09/monster-cable-learns-nothing-sues-monster-transmission/
It's a wonder they didn't sue the producers of the movie, "Monsters, Inc"
