Fight the bullies and stand up to the monsters! Because freedom and justice are worth it. Don't ever back down from fighting for what you believe.
Stephen Norberg
Chief Thunder Beast
Thunder Beast has been locked in a desperate legal battle with the billionaire bullies of Monster Energy Co. (MEC) for nearly 4 years. MEC is notorious in the trademark world for starting more trademark disputes than any other US company in recent years, filing over 1,000 claims since 2010. Even U.S. District Judge André Birotte Jr. has told MEC’s attorneys: “I don’t know why we’re here, other than you’re trying to crush this root beer company out of business.”
But Thunder Beast has steadfastly stood their ground refusing to yield to the absurd and petty trademark tyranny, even after paying over $65,000 in legal fees and selling equipment just to survive. Because Thunder Beast (a one person company) is closing in on winning 2 major victories in 2020 to set powerful precedents to stop MEC from so easily bullying other small businesses. Thunder Beast knows that bullying is never okay. So they are fighting this one for victims everywhere!
This isn't about root beer. This is about fighting for truth and justice. This is about inspiring others to chase their dreams, and to not be afraid of the bullies standing in the way. This is about knowing there are very real monsters in this world oppressing and hurting people, and if we do nothing to fight them, then who will?
