There are many other companies which do the same thing. Microsoft for
example, if your company or product, software or not has the word
Windows
or something similar you can expect a lawsuit.


A quick google for the word "Windows" proves this wrong. There are
restrictions on how a word or name is used in order to be considered a
trademark infringement.
That doesn't stop them from trying.


Please provide the examples of Microsoft having gone after any company with
the word Windows in their name. You are correct in principle though -
that's how Monster is doing what they are - the laws allow them to sue
regardless of merit. The courts sort out the cases but the right to sue is
available to anyone for any reason.
