"Musk's X and X Social Media LLC filed a joint stipulation of dismissal Monday, which was ordered by Judge John Antoon II in the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The legal marketing firm said in its 2023 lawsuit that Musk's platform-previously known as Twitter-knew of its trademarks before it rebranded. Antoon ruled in July 2024 that X Social Media had cleared the bar to survive X Corp.'s motion to dismiss."
"The dispute wasn't the only trademark lawsuit against Musk's platform since its name change. Another social media marketing firm, DB Communications LLC, which does business as Multiply, sued in July last year, saying the stylized "X" logo infringed its marks. The parties voluntarily dropped all claims and counterclaims in the suit earlier this year. Musk also faces trademark infringement allegations beyond the social media platform,"
X Corp. and X Social Media LLC filed a joint stipulation of dismissal that Judge John Antoon II ordered in the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida. X Social Media alleged in a 2023 lawsuit that the platform knew of its trademarks before rebranding from Twitter. Antoon had ruled in July 2024 that X Social Media had met the threshold to survive X Corp.'s motion to dismiss. Other trademark suits followed, including a Multiply suit over a stylized "X" logo that the parties later dropped. X.AI faces an allegation that it tried to "bully" a gaming and blockchain company over trademarks. Debevoise & Plimpton LLP and King, Blackwell, Zehnder & Wermuth PA represent X; Gerben Perrott PLLC represents X Social Media. The case was dismissed with prejudice on 9/15/25.
