Facebook STEALS Company IP 

The Meta Company is a relatively small company that is based out of Chicago, Illinois and they are currently at war with Facebook over the “Meta” branding. This small company was contacted anonymously through a team of lawyers who were looking to buy their name for a fixed amount of money, but they refused. To their shock, it turned out that these lawyers were from Facebook, how did they find this out? When Facebook stole their name and rebranded as Meta. 

This small company did not give Facebook what they wanted so Facebook opted to walk right over them and proceed as planned despite the potential legal consequences. The original Meta Company is pleading for help and has already announced that they have had to delay a product launch as a result of the trademark infringement. 

When these tech companies don’t get their way they swipe the deck right off the table and declare themselves the victor regardless of the rules.
