Matter Labs is facing strong opposition from Polyhedra, Starkware and Polygon on Thursday after a revelation that the company filed a trademark for zero-knowledge.
Matter Labs filed a trademark for zero-knowledge as its exclusive intellectual property in different countries. Polyhedra, Starkware and Polygon responded with statements demanding Matter Labs to withdraw the filing. Polyhedra has changed its ticker symbol to ZKJ. Matter Labs face fierce criticism upon ZK filing Matter Labs, the company behind Ethereum Layer-2 protocol zkSync, filed trademark applications in nine countries, seeking to make zero-knowledge its unique intellectual property.
In the aftermath of the conflict between the two companies, Starkware and Polygon joined Polyhedra in issuing statements against the trademark application, urging Matter Labs to withdraw it. They called the attempt an oppressive behavior, seeing that the company neither created nor contributed to the creation of this technology. By using the legal system to claim a public good for itself, Matter Labs contradicts the ethos of crypto, Ethereum, and its principles, said Starkware in an post on X.
