Maybe Cookie Monster should sue

Monster Cable has a history of filing trademark infringement suits.

Legal action has been taken against Disney-Pixar, “Monsters, Inc”, Monster.com, Monster Energy Drink, the Chicago Bears (“Monsters of the Midway”), the Boston Red Sox (for selling “Monster seating” on their “Green Monster” wall in the outfield), and Discovery Channel’s “Monster Garage”.

Now, “Monster Mini Golf” is apparently the next target, because, of course lots of people could confuse all the golf clubs, golf balls and spooky haunted house theme for a manufacturer and retailer of electronics and audio cables, right?

“They give monsters bad name”, said Cookie Monster in a statement.

In an already severely sagging economy, the monsters of Sesame Street need to assert their rights to be called “Monster”, so that their franchise of entertaining and scaring children around the world will not be damaged by the electronics company.

“Born” in 1967, and appearedin Sesame Street’s first episode, in 1969, Cookie Monster might have a strong case on his hands.

Monster Cable was founded more than 10 years later.

Technology news blog, TechDirt, points out the use of the “moron in a hurry” test to be used in determining if this is a reasonable suit.

“They not real monster. They just acting like monster. Hurting monsters everywhere.”, said Cookie Monster.
