David, that's $100 per month,
per franchise . Monster mini-golf currently has 24 franchises = $2400 per month to Monster Cable.
What I don't understand is, Monster Cable says "This lawsuit was never about the money.....It’s about the protection of our trademarks." YET,
for a fee (ahem), they are willing to let Monster Mini Golf use that trademark they wish to "protect." Hmmm?
Monster Cable says:
"
Monster Mini Golf is not small Mom-and-Pop business. In fact it is seemingly well funded national organization selling franchises with the Monster trademark that currently goes across 10 states..." [sarcasm]WOW! 24 golf courses in 10 states out of 50. They really are
HUGE aren't they?[/sarcasm]
"
...we are not a faceless corporate giant out to squash legitimate business concerns and rising entrepreneurs. We are in fact, a family-owned company..." OK, you're a
family owned faceless corporate giant out to squash legitimate business concerns and rising entrepreneurs."
"
We have always tried to provide our customers with the highest performance products at an affordable price."
I agree with Mark. If Monster Cable sold their product at reasonable prices, the public reaction to all this wouldn't be nearly as vociferous.
