Eh, unlike some of the other pretty blatantly frivolous lawsuits we’ve seen lately (such as the google chrome cast one) this seems pretty legit. They had a globally recognized company called threads that worked in the software industry and meta had made multiple offers for their IP showing they knew about them and still went ahead. Seems clear cut and Meta will likely have to change the name.
What's the chrome cast one?
Basically a company had a patent of a barely similar device that shouldve fallen under common sense patent law and had zero plans on produce/selling the product. They’re basically just a company thats the patent equivalent of landlords
It's called patent troll.
