California Judge Criticizes Stalled Meta Lawsuit, Suggests Chinese Firm May Shoulder Legal Fees

On Friday, she indicated her intent to order a Chinese information company to cover Meta’s contempt motion fees. This followed the company’s failure to settle a $5.5 million default judgment for cybersquatting. The judge remarked that the parties seem to be “spinning wheels here and spending attorneys fees and making no progress at all.”
