Salt Peanuts Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I wonder how long before they start suing other headphone companies? This did remind me of BJC's pure win of a response to Monster couple of years back - Monster Cable Correspondence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlSeibert Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Really, the big news here is the name. First amps that are the Schiitz, now this. I want Fanny Wangs! (Maybe it is too easy a target. Nevertheless, that was the softball pitch. We need Steve to drive it out of the park. Paging Dr Wood........)

Voltron Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Round headphones molded right into the headband endorsed by a rapper? Sleek by 50 Cent is going to be next in Monster's legal war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 And the stylized "s" logo is a little too close to what would be the font for the Beats "b" -- this is one lawsuit I actually think is Monster's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catscratch Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Typical Monster behavior, trying to crush competition before it starts. Smart, too, if you take ethics out of it, but given how they spend their time bullying small business while Noel Lee drives around in a Bentley from West Coast Customs, that's easier said than done. I was reading through the Blue Jeans Cables' brilliant response to Monster's accusations and one thing caught my eye: ... there is little doubt that making baseless claims of trade dress infringement and design patent infringement is an improper business tactic, which can give rise to unfair competition claims, and for a company of Monster's size, potential antitrust violations with treble damages and attorney's fees. Is this true? Are there any advocacy groups that can actually make this happen? I would love to see Monster piss off the wrong people, if only it gets them to change their MO, but I don't know if that's likely or realistic.
