This is a bit embarrassing for Facebook:
Facebook's rebrand as Meta has hit a snag.
Last week, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company would be changing its name to Meta as part of a rebrand effort, but another company was ahead of them.
An Arizona-based company that sells computers, laptops, tablets, and tech software called Meta PC launched a little over a year ago, according to documents obtained by TMZ.
Facebook is a massive company with unlimited money. Did no one think to purchase the rights to the name before announcing the name change to the world??
In August, the company filed to trademark "Meta" in relation to any technological use — right within Facebook's sphere.
Meta PC's trademark hasn't yet been granted, however, co-founders Zack Shutt and Joe Darger told TMZ they won't sell the name to Zuckerberg, if he pursues it, for less than $20 million.
C'mon, guys, you can do better than $20 million.
