A chicag0-based tech firm named Meta Company claims that the Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe are&nbsp;\u201cfixated on domination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It appears that multiple tech firms using the \u201cMeta\u201d brand name are taking aim at tech giant Facebook. Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tech\/2021\/11\/04\/outzucked-facebook-could-be-forced-to-purchase-meta-trademark-for-20-million\/\">recently reported<\/a> that in&nbsp;August, the founders of the custom PC making firm Meta PC filed to trademark the word \u201cMeta\u201d in relation to all computers, tablets, software, laptops, and more items relating to technology. The founders of the company, Joe Darger and Zack Shutt, have been operating Meta PC for just over a year and recently filed the documents to formally trademark the brand.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<div id=\"attachment_16741706\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"32\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Mark-Zuckerberg-throwing-spears.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16741706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Mark-Zuckerberg-throwing-spears.jpg\" alt=\"Mark Zuckerberg throwing spears\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mark Zuckerberg throwing spears (Mark Zuckerberg\/Facebook)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Meta PC has yet to be officially approved in its quest to trademark the name Meta but they still have a significant lead on Facebook if they attempt to claim the name for its Facebook rebrand.

Meta Company, a Chicago-based tech firm, has accused Facebook of infringing on its trademark and domains. Meta Company founder Nate Skulic <a href=\"http:\/\/meta.company\/\">alleges in a letter<\/a> that Facebook lawyers actually reached out in an attempt to buy the trademark from him but Skulic \u201crefused their offer on multiple bases,\u201d alleging that Facebook made a \u201clow offer that wouldn\u2019t cover\u201d the name change costs.<\/p>\n<p>Skulic states in his letter:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"17\">\n<p>On October 20th, 2021, during a phone call with Facebook attorneys, we declined their low offer and maintained our requirements. At this point, we presumed it was Facebook and identified them on the call. The attorney representing Facebook declared they would respect our existing right and registration.<\/p>\n<p>On October 28th, 2021, Facebook decided to commit trademark infringement and call themselves \u201cMeta\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Skulic further lashed out at Facebook, stating that the firm is&nbsp;\u201ca company that continually says one thing and does another,\u201d also alleging that it is \u201cfixated on domination.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/meta-company-lashes-out-at-facebook-over-name-change-in-public-letter-04698341\/\">SlashGear here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>Lucas Nolan is a reporter for Breitbart News covering issues of free speech and online censorship.
