MentalEdge comments on Meta given 30 days to cease using the name Threads by company that trademarked it 11 years ago

He didn't "fuck up" so much as think he was big enough to bully the legal issue away.

They did it with the word "meta" here's hoping they don't get away with it a second time.

Did they really get away with it? It seems like they shot themselves in the foot with pointless rebranding and their sad attempts at whatever the metaverse is. In the end they lost a ton of money

Legally, yes.

In every other sense? Fuck no.

In the case of Meta, they acquired a small company with that name many years before. Makes me wonder if they also bought something called Threads before.
