US-based Meta Company to sue Facebook for infringing upon its name

In an interesting turn of events, a Chicago-based tech firm called Meta Company is going to court against Facebook, saying the social network stole its name and “livelihood” after it rebranded its name to Meta.

In a statement, Meta Company Founder Nate Skulic said that when Facebook failed to buy them, it aimed to “bury” the company by force of media.

On October 28, “Facebook decided to commit trademark infringement and call themselves Meta,” Skulic said in a public letter.

“They couldn’t buy us, so they tried to bury us by force of media. We shouldn’t be surprised by these actions – from a company that continually says one thing and does another,” Skulic added.
