If the United States allows you to sue for reasons like this, then it is your freedom to sue. But constantly suing because another business has the word “Monster” in their name is just foolish. The average person with common sense could not mistake one company from the other when it comes to what was posted here. It would have to take a village idiot to confuse the two types of businesses which could be the reason for the lawsuit. They are doing it to protect the idiots of America!

Reminds me of when T-Mobile’s parent company wanted to trademark that Magenta color they use for their logo.

Will we one day see an attorney assigned to every newborn at birth to protect him or her when walking through the path of life? In the beginning, man was afraid and had to fight off ferocious beasts. These beasts still remain but have evolved into lawyers.

Think what you what of monster but they have a legitimate point. Monster transmissions could have changed the spelling and it would have been just fine. Remember the WWF lawsuit? Granted this was a different subject but it’s a name thing. Monster affiliates itself with Monster.com by the way.

I am going to trademark the word Fast… Then start filing the suits… While I am at it, trademarking the word Quick and Quik.

For the love of all things holy, I am going to be a rich SOB.

Ya this guy at Monster sounds like a real douche bag to me. And after reading this I’ll never use another Monster product again.

Actually, monster has a legitimate claim against Monster Mini Golf, a large corporation that tried to register the world Monster by itself. They finally agreed to use only Monster Mini Golf and not any other use of the word Monster. So I’m thinking maybe this Transmission thing is the same?

But that doesn’t excuse Monster from selling vastly overpriced cables that don’t work any better, setting up fake displays that make their cables appear to work better when there is an obvious deception behind the scenes as documented by Engadget three times, and being a snake-oil foisting company that cares more about making money than actually making a product that is really better than the competition in real world terms.

It’s kinda funny that they would even try it. Their website and u.s. trademark pdf shows that they don’t own the name “monster transmission”. so what’s they point?

The guy who wrote that song Monster Mash, should sue Monster cable for trademark theft.
