Don't Buy Monster Energy Drinks

Found this on another massage board - Don't Buy Monster Energy Drinks Spread The Word!



Matt Nadeau of Rock Art Brewery, http://rockartbrewery.com , sits down with Green River Pictures to let the world know his side of the Monster Energy drink Trademark lawsuit.

poor guy, but this is what happens when you trump all progress with copyright/trademark laws.

The moment you start with the "you cant use that word" these things will occur.... even the lawyers claimed there is no infringement.

Simple as that.

Respect to that guy for fighting it.

Fuck Monster. Their energy drinks taste like shit anyway. I still have 3 out of a 4 pack sitting in my fridge from about 2 years ago, when Full Throttle wasn't in stock. It seriously tastes THAT bad that I couldn't open another one.

ya know i thought about it...Yea its garbage... Fuck monster, ill stay away fromt hem...

But

Hes only being asked to change the name of a beer... not the name of his business.

Financially he shouldnt... but being a man of principles... im sure he will drain a lot of money that his kids could benefit from to try and retain his beer name... and most likely lose it...

He has every right and should stand up against them.

Monster Energy drinks are now in distribution deal with Anheauser Busch, if David ever wanted to fight Goliath, going against inBev/AB will be it.

remember, beer and energy drinks are different, this is being fought over the word "monster"

Monster Cable has been suing people right and left for the use of various things they consider their trademarks. I am surprised he has not heard from them too.

In fact, the brewer should be suing Monster!

Quote:
Nadeau contacted Reed to say the products are in two different markets — beer and energy drinks — and offered to surrender any rights to use the name on an energy drink. According to Nadeau, Reed said that's not Hansen's concern, but that Hansen wants to enter the alcoholic beverage market.

"I said `Too bad, I'm already here.' I've been here. And I'm already brewing beer," said Nadeau.
So lets get this straight.

Guys been making beer.
Another company has been making energy drinks
Energy drink guys want to make beer
Energy drink guys sue brewer who has been making alcoholic beverages before they were.

Should the brewer being suing them???

Just a beer name?
How much cash do you think he has invested into the marketing plan for this.?
How much FREE marketing do you think he will get if he wins?
How many Millions do you think he will make in Sympathy beer purchases after he wins?

This is not a cut and dry (it will cost him a bit to fight this)....it could be seen as the single biggest opportunaty his company will ever get to break through the glass cealing

everyone steals from everyone, its a fact.

why didnt this guy come out about this years ago until after waiting all this time? probably because he wanted to ensure himself that he would get millions for trying to go after them

I don't think he is being a cry baby, why be sued over a name that isn't even copy infringement. Monster is being the cry babies in this situation.

He won't win, he should just appropriate the name. Case in point Eminem.

Before you all think im some fuckin communist get a grip...

Im thinking realistically. Not principles ...

Of course the guy should win and keep his name...

But will he? Shoul dhe dump money or should he keep it?

Sure he should win it all and then some.

But come on... get real... there is maybe a 5% chance he gets any push from the media...


the world would rather focus on the retardation of some lunatic and his helium balloon than what really matters

sorry i was talking about the situation not the guy. I agree with him, i don't think vermonster or whatever the beer is called is a trademark infringement on Monster Energy drink.. i think it's make work for the lawyer.

a vermonster beer being a trademark infringement on a beer that doesn't exist is an extreme stretch of the imagination. If this vermonster brewery wanted to make an energy drink i can understand, but if it's the other way around that starts to make me feel afraid about any business or idea i come up with being completely walked over by people with the money to simply buy a judge.

I agree with him fighting to a point. Would not sacrifice everything on that principle battle though with a wife and kids.

Just had a few issues. He is a fucking corporation himself so stop bashing fucking corporate America. He became a corporation for the same reasons they all did. To take advantage or tax codes, to protect assets, and all that other crap.

Stop with the boo hoo about 1 billion dollars. You do not need to say it that many times. It does not change things. You can still win as a small guy and appeals do not get to go on and on forever and ever. 1 billion dollars, damn and to think people go up against the entire US government on cases all of the time - I did.

It is not necessarily buying justice or the courts. Yup money sure in the fuck does help. It is a way to fight and to speak. Using the media, news outlets, grass roots movements, and other such tactics also are another way to fight. Actually would give him the upper hand to kneecap the giant by harming their image and sales much more than they ever would win, or even make worthwhile to them after some point in time.

God damn that was the best Monster I have had in a long time. I could almost taste the tears in it. I toasted corporate America, downed the entire can and threw the motherfucker away without even thinking of recycling it.

Pussies.

This has more to do with the way our trademark/copyright laws are set up. The problem is if Monster doesn't protect it's name then the next time someone makes a "monster" product they can use this guys beer as precedent to say that they are not infringing. Instead companies are forced to protect their property tooth and nail. Don't hate the player hate the game. That being said monster tastes like shit so I will not be buying it anyways.

Not sure if this has any effect on the case but you have some big names behind the distribution of Monster:

Marketed and distributed by Hansen Natural Corporation, a NASDAQ listed company of Corona, California. Though Monster Energy is not widely advertised in the media it receives a large amount of recognition from its sponsorship of various sporting events. Hansen Natural Corporation announced a distribution agreement with Anheuser-Busch in the U.S.[2] and Grupo Jumex in Mexico.[3] Hansen Natural Corporation has recently announced a distribution deal with PepsiCo Canada. On November 10, 2008, the distribution of Monster turned over to CCE, Coca Cola United, and other Coke bottlers in many markets. Contracts with existing distributors were bought out in these markets. In late 2009 or early 2010 Monster Energy will expand their market and release their products to other countries including Germany. It is distributed in Australia by Schweppes.

Could of been much better. Needed more product placement. Should of been a sign with his main best selling beer in view, not just the occasional name of his brewery. He mentions he best selling beer that paid for that factory and put more sand and sawdust on the floors. However I can not remember it.
The special ED beer he is fighting for is burned into my brain but it is a special edition, one he could loose or fold his hand on. He needed to take some que's from some Samuel Adams commercials.

I do get you there. The Monster portion is almost accidental. I am sure we all remember the Pauly Shore age where the Earth almost ended. When adding "ster" to every name imaginable was hip and popular. Still can not remember just add "ster" to your real name as long as it does not sound fucking retarded. So like Chuckster, or Jayster would of been fine.

Instead companies are forced to protect their property tooth and nail. Don't hate the player hate the game. That being said monster tastes like shit so I will not be buying it anyways.
I understand not protecting your brand. There also is the whole issue that even though they are in the beverages markets - one is alcoholic/adult and the other is in the non regulated beverage market. Very touchy and could be too close, but that would be up to some 13 other people to decide.

I do have stronger issues with the ease at which the wrong types of words can be dropped into TM/CR protection. Shit like "Your fired" and other crap should not happen.

should have had a better lawyer, not make a video complaining, just change the name, it would probably cost less
