no
but at least for Apple there is little change to for any confusion, at least as long as apple doesn't sell food.
Meta on the other hand is a widely used vague defined word used in many contexts especially tech/SiFi/AR as such there is a lot of potential confusion and potential "cultural appropriation" of existing language using that wording (e.g. in a SiFi novel).
I think both shouldn't be a thing, but the negative effect Facebooks brand can have is much much larger.
- bryans 5y agoAs you already mentioned, the word "meta" isn't defined and is entirely conceptual. As such, it can't reasonably be associated with an existing product or service, so it can't and won't be subjected to the same strong trademark requirements.
