Monster Energy fail in courtroom battle against Capcom and Pokémon Co over the use of the word 'Monster'
In a legal battle that was over as quickly as it began, Monster Energy went after Pokémon Co. and Capcom over their use of the word ‘Monster’ in their trademarks. As to be expected the complaints were dismissed pretty much instantly
Monster Energy’s trademark disputes were filed in Japan, where they were squashed soon thereafter. Monster Energy are on a bit of a trademark tirade at the moment, as they have filed a whopping 100 complaints in Japan against numerous companies that use the word ‘Monster’ in their products.
This was nothing new as Monster Energy has been doing this for quite some time, and have become well-known to be a bit of a troll on this topic. Even after losing their battles against Capcom and Pokémon Co., Monster Energy continues to file more complaints against other companies. Monster Energy argues that the use of the word ‘Monster’ in other names/products could confuse consumers. It would seem the legal powers that be disagree.
