Most of them stopped buying Monster cables for the same reason.

Hooking up the new Bose sound systems?

Oh right...so whoever trademarks it first gets it? Doesnt the time you have been using it factor into it? First come first served an such?

Simple use constitutes a trademark. You can also register the trademark with the USPTO. After it's registered, you can use the (r) symbol instead of (tm).

You also have to defend your trademark. It's actually your own responsibility to make sure others don't infringe on it because once it's established that there has been sufficient infringement/use, you lose rights to the trademark. Of course, this situation is retarded. As is most of the Monster Cable debacle. My guess is Monster Cable is so rabid because their products' prices are so hyper inflated that if they lose the name, they have nothing.

Every time I find myself in a position where I would normally buy a Monster, I will drink a beer instead.


Whatever I can do to help the cause.

Just crabwalk your way into the Monster production plant and start spinning your head and pinching things.

Why has no one asked when is Ben and Jerry's is going to get sued? Has no one accidentally bought a ridiculously large ice cream sunday instead of an ugly fonted can of "engery drink"? Or at least confused the two?

Ben and Jerry's is a 30 billion dollar business. Monster cannot compete in the courtroom with them, simple as that.
