The question is whether Facebook’s use is likely to confuse consumers: software isn’t a category of its own, everything is software now, and this is different software — any context immediately distinguishes the usages (and there’s no reputation for Facebook to be maliciously trying to leverage). I doubt Facebook will lose. The lawsuit is just chancing for a settlement based on it being easier for Facebook to settle than defend.

I think UK-wise it's likely to confuse consumers because Threads means post-nuclear wasteland there.
Threads: a stark contemplation of isolation and desolation, total population collapse… and I hear there’s a movie with the same name.
