Monster Energy filed a Notice of Opposition against Walmart for its trademark application for its “Member’s Mark” logo.

Monster claims that the “M” in Walmart’s “Member’s Mark” logo is too close to the "M" in Monster Energy’s logo.

Side by side, I don’t see any similarities. And I don’t think consumers will be confused or believe there’s any affiliation between the two brands.

Here is the Notice of Opposition:

@amirsaid lawyers trying to justify their salary?

@amirsaid Which “M”? There’s an arguably better (but still unconvincing) claim that the “M” in “Monster” is a bit similar, but the main “M” logo looks nothing like it.

@anthony Which “M”? As I stated in my original post: “Monster claims that the “M” in *Walmart’s “Member’s Mark” logo is too close to the "M" in Monster Energy’s logo.

I do not see any argument prevailing. Still, what do you think is the better argument?

@amirsaid To be clear, I'm saying that the "M"s marked here could be arguably claimed as similar.
