ITCMay 21, 2026·337-TA-1502·SUPPLEMENTAL COMPLAINT FILED

Certain Energy Drinks and Labeling and Packaging Thereof; Inv. No. 337-TA-1502 (Violation)

U.S. International Trade Commission

Holding

This supplemental complaint filing by Monster Energy Company in Inv. No. 337-TA-1502 (energy drinks and their labeling and packaging) consists only of exhibit material: the prosecution and maintenance file for U.S. Trademark Reg. No. 2903214 (stylized M mark), and the text does not contain the supplemental complaint's own allegations.

Why It Matters

The record shows Monster Energy Company owns a renewed registration for the stylized M mark covering carbonated soft drinks and energy or sports drinks, which would be relevant to the trademark-based claims in a Section 337 investigation. The text does not identify respondents, accused products, or the relief requested, so the exclusion-order significance cannot be assessed from this document.
