Monster Energy sues indie game over trademark infringement.
Monster Energy has filed a legal complaint against indie game Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals for including the word "Monsters" in its title, claiming it is confusingly similar to their energy drink. Glowstick Entertainment, the game's developer, has pledged to fight the claim in court, calling Monster a "notorious trademark troll." The company has previously targeted Ubisoft's Immortals Fenyx Rising for its original title, Gods and Monsters. Glowstick has been using the Monsters & Mortals branding for years and has partnered with high-profile franchises like Silent Hill.
