I decided to take a look at Monster's 'design patents' they claim are
infringed.

Talking of pots kettles black etc .... their own design patent D366,863
is an obvious rip-off of a Swiss LEMO style !
http://www.lemo.com/products/connect...r_overview.jsp

They even mention the LEMO catalogue (for the B series) in the patent !
LEMO call it their 'chocolate block' pattern.

What a bunch of ******s Monster are.

I've posted Monster's pathetic design patent in
alt.binaries.schematics.electronic for anyone interested to view.

Graham, I think you've missed a fundamental principle on which the
process of litigation is founded...

Never let the truth spoil your case

Monster are a vile patent troll company that uses legal bullying
tactics to try to scare the competition.
At one time they did make reasonable products. Now they make pure
garbage at an obscene price.

They might have been decent quality at one point, but their advertsements were
always full of way too much hyperbole and misdirection... nor were their
prices ever that great.

I suppose the one good thing they did was to make consumers aware that things
like speaker wire gauge matter, even if they went so far overboard that people
now think 6ga. wire is needed for a 100W car audio system...

Agreed. I still snicker at their attempt to make the word monster their own.

IME their stuff is not all that bad, especially when bought for below-market
prices at say, Parts Express.

As long as there are fools with more money than sense, those people
(and others like them) will continue to make money hand over fist.

Monster has been trying this intimidation stuff for ages, even with
businesses outside their product area.

Here was an attack against an old friend with a Halloween industry
on-line business. You'd think that "monster" might have had prior use
in this category.
