Monster Cable's Cease and Desist Backfires Spectacularly
2025-03-22
High-end audio cable manufacturer Monster Cable sent a cease and desist letter to Blue Jeans Cable, alleging infringement. However, Blue Jeans Cable's president, Kurt Denke, a former litigator, responded with a forceful rebuttal. Denke's response highlighted the lack of evidence supporting Monster Cable's claims and declared his extensive litigation experience. He stated he would only comply with a court order finding infringement, otherwise he would defend himself vigorously. He further accused Monster Cable of employing a pattern of 'shakedown' tactics. This event has drawn industry attention and emphasizes the importance of evidence in intellectual property litigation.
