Meta settles lawsuit over its infinity-symbol logo

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) has settled a 2022 lawsuit from a nonprofit organization saying the former Facebook's new infinity-symbol logo would lead to confusion with its own symbol.
Meta and blockchain developer Dfinity Foundation - an "infinite" public blockchain network - have asked the court to dismiss the case with prejudice.

The case had previously been dismissed, in November, but Dfinity was allowed to amend its suit, which it did in December.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, though, concluded that Meta's logo - developed as the company changed its name from Facebook in 2021 - was unlikely to cause consumer confusion, in part due to Dfinity's customer base being "tech-savvy developers."
Still on the docket for Meta after its name change are trademark suits from VR company MetaX and investment firm Metacapital.
