Re:  USPTO, Digital Assets and Moscow Exchange

Dear Meta Board of Directors:

Today’s memo is to kindly submit xNY.io’s overall concern of Meta
Platforms, Inc. and Moscow Exchange mark similarities, specifically, both
marks seemingly resemble a geometric design consisting of two loops
and/orovals touching or intersecting. See here:






xNY.io asks not whether the first work would damage the market for the
second (by, for example, devaluing it through parody or criticism), but
whether it usurps the market by offering a competing substitute,
potentially causing significant damage to digital asset purity and
blockchain software technology innovation.

   1.

   The Moscow Exchange operates Russia's central securities depository, the
   National Settlement Depository, and the country's largest clearing service
   provider, the National Clearing Centre.
   2.

   Meta Platforms recently filed USPTO applications from the international
   jurisdiction of Jamaica, seeking mark approval of a geometric design
   consisting of two loops and/or ovals touching or intersecting and/or
   other bands, lines or bars.
   3.

   Meta Platforms suggests bonafide intention to use the mark in commerce,
   on or in connection with the identified goods and services such as
   financial transaction processing services relating to tokens, blockchain
   assets, cryptocurrencies and other virtual assets.

With all due respect, Meta’s Board may understand xNY.io cannot logically
accept that the recent USPTO applications are not a marketplace
manipulation exercise at xNY.io’s overall expense. Meta’s Board must ask
itself, to the best of its knowledge, information, and belief, if further
inquiry is reasonable under the circumstances?


   -

   xNY.io kindly asks Meta’s Board to recall all eight USPTO trademark
   applications reported by Cointelegraph on March 23, 2022.


xNY.io kindly asks Meta’s Board to confirm the application recalls by
Friday, March 25, 2022 at 5:00pm EST. xNY.io’s factual contentions made
above have evidentiary support and recognize Moscow Exchange’s approach to
threats that stifle individual and corporate freedom.

Respectfully yours with appreciation,
