:Meta Platforms Inc and blockchain nonprofit Dfinity Foundation have resolved Dfinity's trademark lawsuit against Meta over its infinity-symbol logo, according to a joint filing in San Francisco federal court.
A Meta spokesperson said Tuesday that the company was"pleased with the outcome of the case." It said Dfinity had dropped the lawsuit after Meta"pointed out the defects" in its revised complaint.Switzerland-based Dfinity's Internet Computer is an"infinite" public blockchain network designed to host smart contracts.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer dismissed Dfinity's original complaint in November but allowed the company to amend the lawsuit. Breyer said Meta's logo was unlikely to cause consumer confusion, citing differences in the logos' designs and the fact that Dfinity's customers are"tech-savvy developers."Meta is still facing trademark lawsuits from virtual-reality company MetaX and investment firm Metacapital over its name change.
