Thats not what happened. One of the biggest walled gardens spent a tiny portion of their massive wealth to move into another market by purchasing the market leader.
Its this behaviour that needs to stop. Corps should be restricted to a single trade category.
- ahtihn 4y ago> Corps should be restricted to a single trade category. Can you come up with a definition of trade category that is legally useful and would prevent Meta from getting into VR hardware?
- supermatt 4y agoI dont need to come up with one - they already exist in the form of trademark (WIPO NCL) classification. I suppose the hardware would be class 28, the app store would be class 35, there are other classes that would be applicable too given they also provide services, etc. Preferably they would be even more granular than that - I believe the chinese system is a bit more detailed in that area.
