A British software firm, Threads Software Limited, has given Meta a 30-day ultimatum to cease using the name "Threads" in the UK, citing ownership of the trademark.

So it's just a threat with no actual value or feasible legal repercussions?

They usually give them an ultimatum. If that isn't followed then they'll sue.
