If it does not, Threads Software Limited will seek an injunction from the English Courts.
“Taking on a US$150 billion company is not an easy decision for us to make. We have invested 10 years in our platform, establishing a recognised brand in the name, Threads. Our business now faces a serious threat from one of the largest technology companies in the world. ”
I hate that companies are able to sue others over general words, because it is part of their name. I don’t know how similar those applications are, as I don’t use Threads nor Threads.
