While sales are still coming I have a question from a marketing perspective.

Let's just say you brand yourself as

Metapay or metapayments or metashopping and so on.
And Facebook decided to add products in these names and do something like

Meta.com/payments

Will having them owning a product with the same name is good or bad for you?

I hope who comes first will be served first.

A specific trademark like metapayments should not be broken by meta, just & solely because it is a shorter term.

Also the word meta is not as specific as google or microsoft;
but in case of unclarity I think the TM who was first, will be granded the rights.

So, if you have reg. your meta TM before Zucks announcement, you would be far better off than now.

There is that case with meta.company
they reg. their TM in August 2021.

And now want 20 mio. from fb for this...

My question is not from a tm perspective but Branding and what kind of affect it will have on your brand

Good? Bad? Not known yet?

I keep reading things like this.

All i will say to that is see 'Apple' see 'Amazon' see 'Booking' - These are even more generic words than 'Meta' would people here buy (or register) AmazonPay or ApplePay? I sure as hell wouldn't!

Facebook haven't fully claimed the whole 'Meta' word yet, they only announced the rebrand 9 days ago, once they do or 'if' they do and they make it their own, which they intented to do, hence them buying out domains (they won't be paying $30k+ for domains forever) don't be surpised if this word becomes another 'Apple' or 'Amazon' ie:- a word associated with 1 company and a word most people wouldn't touch.

What about "Metaverse" ..

U cant claim that but you also have less choices especially for brand names.

And what about the many Meta worded companies in use all over the net before this? Facebook didn’t create this word like they did Face plus Book as a brandable. This is not their word and its not a new word.

Returning to Elad comments the bigger question is how many will want to associate with the word going forward? Some won’t want to and people need to pump the breaks on meta and consider other relevant keywords imo.

Reg date doesn’t matter first in use date matters. They claim in use a year ago. People have to provide proof of in use date because some companies don’t bother to secure a trademark for many years.

Ok.

Apple was long there, before the internet.
Amazon already started in 1995...

So, these terms, and google of course too as it is a specific term, are more than fluently used.

They spread across the globe.


When it comes to the term meta, we see a totally new kind of registration.

Before amazon / apple no one (no other company) ever used sth. like apple payments / amazon real estate or similar.

But in the case of meta I think more than 3600 reg. TM are already registered long before Zuck announced that rebranding.

So, I wouldn't be that sceptic - at least this time.

Well obviously they can't touch them, but what as a company already in business got to do with people on this forum? Ie:- domain investors making medium/long term investments speculating about the future.

I said during the rebrand, if you registered/bought domains before Facebook announcing 'Meta' no company can claim bad faith, hence why they are buying names right now, but i don't think they will always be doing that and soon will start doing UDRP's to get what they want.

I can only speak for myself (other people can do what they want), now the annoucement is made, i won't be paying big money for anything 'Meta' related due to the risk of a UDRP in the future, as they could claim i made this purchase on the back of their rebrand ie:- trying to make money on their company name especially if i put this domain for sale at an inflated price.

I see where you’re coming from, It gives the craze another perspective for sure..

That was a reseller Price and a reseller bought it and re-listed

it "was" listed for high 6Figures "yesterday"..........."WAS"........

Can't wait for another large Corp to join the MV narrative, bc I'm sick of hearing about Meta. MS is doing the "Mesh" BS and now we are left with Google, Apple, Epic Games and a few new comers.

I see.

And it was sold again?

While many people focus on the word "meta" in trademark issue, I think we should be aware of the keyword attached to the word "meta" in domains. For example, if there is a company named Meta that sells shoes and has an active trademark "meta", and a person registers meta//shoes(.extension), then the person can be sued by the company easily.

According to the WIPO database, there are already thousands of trademarks "meta" registered in many classifications of goods/services by many companies located in many countries before Facebook's rebranding. So it is very easy to register a "meta" domain with trademark issue. It is worrying that many domainers do not check the trademark database and register many legally problematic domains. They are not only facing the chance of being sued by Facebook (if their "meta" domains are related to metaverse and social media), but also by many companies with trademarks "meta" (if their "meta" domains are related to other businesses).

I am not a trademark expert. Above is just my opinion.

I have a strong feeling that Apple is going to be promoting AR, MR and VR products, but not the metaverse. Especially bc Meta was the first co to promote it to the masses like its a product of their own. You can't have several companies claiming to be the one metaverse. Apple likes clarity and less dreamy bullshit. So it's possible they will stay away from using the word. After all, they are mostly a hardware company anyway. It would be unusual if them to produce an ecosystem beyond an market that provides apps that can be metaverse in of themselves. The other high possibility is that they'd partner with a Metaverse company like Epic instead of trying to be a Metaverse co themselves. This is just my speculation.

Ultinately it's not necessary to be part of the Metaverse narrative in order to be a "Metaverse co" . After all, the metaverse is a big dreamy, abstract concept that was baked out of dystopian science fiction. The internet will Ultinately have to be the metaverse by adding a virtual layer to it, if there's ever going to be a true Metaverse. I'm hoping that Meta is instead building a walled garden, bc if they are pushing the universal web as the metaverse on their own, then they'll have unrestricted control over how it emerges and the technologies used. That is not a decentralized, evenly democratized effort. We need the internet to be the metaverse and Apple may realize that all this Metaverse hype will fall flat before its actually realized, avoiding the embarrassment of a young overly ambitious CEO trying to grab power and failing miserably before we enter a 3rd VR winter.
