Billionaire Elon Musk’s decision to rebrand Twitter as X could be complicated legally: companies including Meta (META.O) and Microsoft (MSFT.O) already have intellectual property rights to the same letter.
X is so widely used and cited in trademarks that it is a candidate for legal challenges – and the company formerly known as Twitter could face its own issues defending its X brand in the future.
“There’s a 100% chance that Twitter is going to get sued over this by somebody,” said trademark attorney Josh Gerben, who said he counted nearly 900 active U.S. trademark registrations that already cover the letter X in a wide range of industries.
Owners of trademarks – which protect things like brand names, logos and slogans that identify sources of goods – can claim infringement if other branding would cause consumer confusion. Remedies range from monetary damages to blocking use.
Meta and Microsoft likely would not sue unless they feel threatened that Twitter’s X encroaches on brand equity they built in the letter, Gerben said.
Meta itself drew intellectual property challenges when it changed its name from Facebook. It faces trademark lawsuits filed last year by investment firm Metacapital and virtual-reality company MetaX, and settled another over its new infinity-symbol logo.
And if Musk succeeds in changing the name, others still could claim ‘X’ for themselves.
“Given the difficulty in protecting a single letter, especially one as popular commercially as ‘X’, Twitter’s protection is likely to be confined to very similar graphics to their X logo,” said Douglas Masters, a trademark attorney at law firm Loeb & Loeb.
“The logo does not have much distinctive about it, so the protection will be very narrow.”
Insider reported earlier that Meta had an X trademark, and lawyer Ed Timberlake tweeted that Microsoft had one as well.

I just have to put this review out here, the world really needs to know about the Super-Hero of a hacker…!!!
Please, everyone should tread carefully with all these crypto brokers and crypto mining managers on social networks. I was duped with a whooping sum of $ 640,000 of my investment capital by a broker I met via #Telegram. They kept on assuring me of my investment success growth while requesting for extra funds before a withdrawal request could be accepted and processed to access my investment, at the end of all my constant deposit, I lost all my money. All efforts trying to get them to return all I had invested with them were futile because they kept asking me for more money. I found myself in a very confusing state till recently when I was introduced to this group of Ethical Hackers. I wrote an email on (cyber genie (@)cyber services .co m) to them detailing my experience with that crypto broker, and they replied to me to provide proof of my investment with the said broker which I did, Lo and behold, before the end of the day, I got a notification from Trust Wallet of an incoming deposit, all that I lost was retrieved successfully..

Fake Investment sites are ravaging the internet hooking unsuspecting victims into their fraudulent schemes and fake profit returns, luckily for me I got out in one piece , all thanks to “VALOR HACK”. I run a joint construction business with my wife and at that time we struggled with capital to keep it together , then this company came out of nowhere with reviews from all the local celebrity and proof of returns from investors. The fake Reviews from local celebrity tricked us into investing in this company , I guess at that time we would believe anything that could mean more income for us with the bill on mountain high, we started small with a deposit $250 still doubtful. It all happened so fast,in one week we already made 50% profits & soon after that we were investing by the thousand . At the end of last month I was in debts from all the investment made to this company, $150,000 is my initial investment but my dashboard reads different. It went south when I couldn’t pull out and was asked to invest more to reach a cash out quota, I knew friends who worked with “VALOR HACK” and I was promised honest service and dedication to problem solving with their unique hacking skills . “VALOR HACK” is the light at the end of this tunnel of fake investment sites you got yourself into , stop stalling and end up getting scammed all over again trying to recover what you lost.
