A messy trademark fight between energy drinks giant Monster Energy Co. and its Florida-based rival Vital Pharmaceuticals Inc. came to a head Monday, when U.S. District Judge Roy Altman in the Southern District of Florida canceled a disputed trademark and sent the parties to trial with a little less to argue about.

It’s a lawsuit fraught with contention and counterclaims. It also features reams of attorneys from Florida, California, New York, Connecticut, Philadelphia and Washington State.
