They wouldn't have a case, since this other app can prove they've been available under that name for 4 years. However, I bet the low-ball offers to buy the app and domain have already started. I wonder what number they'll eventually settle on...
Doesn't matter, they've got deeper pockets and can drag it out.
You can wonder all you want. We will never know. But probably "Best I can do is $3.50 and this cute cease and desist letter".
They wouldn't probably need to buy the whole thing, making them rename the app is enough.
True. They have a fair bit of leverage, though. Even just renaming the competing product would probably cost Meta a small fortune. I wouldn't mind being in that situation.
surprised it hasn't happened already
Too funny!!!!
