'Meta' founder sues Facebook for trademark infringement after the company denies selling the name to FB

A US-based company named 'Meta Company' has taken Mark Zuckerberg's company, formerly known as Facebook, to court in the case of ' trademark infringement' after alleging the company for stealing the brand name. 

In the words of Meta company founder Nate Skulic, Facebook lawyers have been pursuing him for the last three months to purchase the name. Skulic denied selling the company name multiple times for numerous reasons, one being the purchase cost was low as compared to the rebranding cost. 

"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 said, "Facebook and its operating officers are deceitful and acting in bad faith, not only towards us, but to all of humanity." 

Nate Skulic, also showed distrust in the whole action after Facebook declined to disclose the reason for the purchase and facebook rebranding. 

"We refused their offer on multiple bases. Namely, the low offer wouldn't cover the costs of changing our name, and we insisted on knowing the client and intent, which they did not want to disclose,

On the weekend, Mark Zuckerburg celebrated the band name change by sharing a picture of 'cookies' with the caption "Pretty Sweet".
