Blue Jeans Cable gets cease-and-desist from Monster Cable

What happens when a Big company like Monster Cable sends a cease-and-desist to a small company, well in most cases the small company does as they are told or they fight back and again most times they lose because the big company has more money and better lawyers. In the case of Monster Cable sending Tartan Cable (a subsidiary of Blue Jeans Cable) a cease-and-desist might have been the wrong thing to-do because the owner of Blue Jeans Cable (Kurt Denke) was a lawyer for over 20 years and with experience in intellectual property litigation.

Its been reported that Monster Cable likes to push around the small business and some people call them a “legal bully”, they even went on the attack against a clothing company called Monster Vintage and yes I said clothing not cables.

Blue Jeans Cable takes pride in thinking of the consumer by aiming to be like jeans, funny as it sounds there is good cause to be like jeans as they say “a good pair of denims are perfect in form and function, eminently practical, affordable, and unpretentious”. Blue Jeans Cable received the Monster Cable Correspondence of letters and exhibits, and now Kurt will be sending them a letter which will basically say Monster Cable should let this one go and that their patents are “non-patentable and non-enforceable”. You can read the details of why that is on the via link below, but simply put “if Monster Cable were to lose in court, we may see this case cause a precedence for future cease and desist requests’.

What do you think of big companies pushing around the little guy?
