  a) Meta Threads which is unrelated to Meta, Threads or apps is trademarked in May, 2018. [1] b) Threads.com raises Seed round back in Oct, 2018. [2] c) Meta acquires Meta Threads trademark in Nov, 2021. d) Threads as a trademark itself has been widely used well before Threads.com.

    Not sure how A C, D are relevant, trademarks pertain only to a specific category. Meta Threads was trademarked for luggage and backpacks. It'll be interesting to see if threads.com has a trademark.

      It's more just interesting history. But D is relevant because of course trademarks are highly specific to a category. And so Threads (social network) would be considered different to Threads (business chat).
