Two Computer Nerds Trademarked The Word "Meta" And Are Demanding Mark Zuckerberg Pay $20 MILLION To Get It Back

Source - It might not be smooth sailing for Mark Zuckerberg in his quest to change Facebook's identity, because we've learned someone was already ahead of him in trying to grab the "Meta" trademark ... and they're willing to give it up to Zuck for a steep price.

Back in August, the founders of a company called Meta PC filed to trademark the word "Meta" for computers, laptops, tablets, software and more items relating to tech -- so, right in Facebook's wheelhouse.

The founders, Joe Darger and Zack Shutt, tell us they've been operating Meta PC for a little over a year, but recently filed docs to formally trademark their brand.

While Meta PC's trademark petition hasn't yet been granted, they still have a lead on Zuckerberg if he tries to claim it for his rebranded company. For that, Darger and Shutt tell us they're willing to give up their quest to lock the phrase down if Zuck will shell out $20 MILLION.

$20 million? $20 MILLION?!?!? Buddy,,, what are you doing? This is a company that does close to $90 billion per year in revenue and you're asking for $20 million? Zuckerberg alone is worth $112 billion. This is like when Dr. Evil asked the entire world for a million dollar ransom and got laughed out of the room...

Regardless, these two goobers have seen a 5000% increasse in followers on their social media pages so at least there's that. They've also been trolling the shit out of Zuckerberg which is hilarious...

That said, I'm sure they won't be laughing when Zuckerberg not only takes the trademark, but destroys the company. He's too rich, too powerful, and too resentful not to take this personally. Then again maybe not. What do I know? I'm just a lowly blogger with without a dog in the race. As long as these two don't trademark #TwerkTuesday I don't care what happens. Have a great Monday.
