Monster Cable at it again, sues mini-golf company {Engadget}
May 27th 2008 8:59AM I sent their legal department an email complaining and got this:
Thank you for your email and concern.
We are merely trying to protect our federally registered trademark for Monster.
We know we don't own the word "Monster." However, we do own the federally registered trademark for Monster for sporting events, sporting goods, and amusement parks, and have business interests in those areas. This may surprise you, because you probably know us for our Monster Cable audio and video products.
Monster Mini golf, is a corporation from the east coast which is franchising miniature golf courses across the US under the name Monster. They are not a small company. Their franchisees may be small companies, however, the parent company is larger.
Monster Mini Golf's use of "Monster" as a trademark infringes our federally registered trademarks. If we do not protect our trademarks, we will lose them. It is a valuable trademark for Monster, so we have to protect it.
We have asked Monster Mini golf to stop, and we hope they do. We do not like having to result to litigation to resolve trademark issues.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Also, if you are spreading this to others you may want to call me first, so you get the other side of the story.
Thanks,
Dave

Apr 28th 2008 9:09PM Seriously, what's with people wanting to hold on to one of the last non-computer technical hobbies? Can't they get with the program and just watch reality TV like everyone else? People always need to "enrich" their lives and "explore science" and "not give away spectrum to stupid power line broadband ideas". I mean, come one.
