Monster Cable is Back! Sues Mini-Golf Company [0.57] by wayde,May 27, 2008 10:23

Monster Cable has already attracted the ire of hi-fi enthusiasts worldwide. If it's not putting up shady displays at big box stores to lure customers into its Monster Cable scam it's doing the same at trade shows like CES. But Monster Cable’s moral ambiguity isn’t limited to promotion of premium priced cables. Monster is fast becoming known as a litigious nuisance in an effort to protect the exclusivity of its name brand. Not long after Audioholics reported on the intellectual property rights dust-up Monster created with Kurt over at Blue Jeans Cable, now Monster is looking to bully a mini-golf company named Monster Mini-Golf.

Monster Cable Shifts Back Into Lawsuit Gear Against Monster Transmission [0.50] by Gene,April 08, 2009 22:49

Just when we thought we heard the last of Monster trademark litigations, they’ve defied all logic by attacking one of the last few American companies that actually manufacture their own products - Monster Transmission. After Monster Transmission refused to hand over their name, Monster Cable filed suit and the attorneys are now going to battle. Who knows how long this new case will be dragged out, and how many more will follow. After attacking Disney’s film “Monsters Inc.”, Monster.com, Monster Energy Drink, Timex, Monster Mini-Golf, Discovery Channel and countless others, one has to wonder when will it stop?

Monster Cable Sues Blue Jeans Cable [0.47] by clint,April 08, 2008 13:32

Monster Cable has issued a Cease-and-Desist order to Blue Jeans Cable (Tartan Cable) over analogue cable connectors. In particular, the design of the Tartan component, composite, coax digital and stereo audio cables supposedly violates Monster Cable's design patents. What makes this slightly comical is that the owner of Blue Jeans Cable is a lawyer by trade. We hope he takes this as far as it needs to go to shut down the lawsuit and end this nonsense.

Monster Cable Sues Baby Clothing Company MonsterRepublic.com [0.42] by Gene,July 07, 2008 19:43

We just received this email from a small business owner of a kids clothing company called Monsterrepublic.com. It appears Monster Cable is at it again with another lawsuit in attempts to protect their name. But can Monster be serious or are they simply looking for publicity albeit good or bad? Just remember, anyone with $200 can file a lawsuit regardless of how big or small the company is. I wonder who is next to feel the wrath of their Monsterous litigators? Could it be you, could it be us? Only time will tell.

Monster Cable Driving Mini Golf Place Out of Business? [0.41] by Gene,November 03, 2008 23:32

Monster Cable is at it again firing up litigation against a Mini Golf franchise called Monster Mini Golf. Giant Monster Cable has already burdened Monster Mini Golf with nearly $100k in legal fees and it looks like there is no end in sight. This personally touches home to me as one of their mini golf facilities happens to be in my neck of the woods in New Port Richey, Florida. I can’t fathom the idea that a cable company would contend that a mini-golf operator is infringing its trademarks on a line of audio and video cables, and would go so far as to bring this kind of frankly silly litigation as a result. Mediation is set for this Wednesday and we wish Monster Mini Golf the best of luck in their noble fight.

Many of the signs around the stadium will be updated in time for Sunday night's home game against the St. Louis Rams.
