TWiT has sued Twitter on the following grounds:
• Breaking of a number of written and oral agreements. The lawsuit claims that when both companies started in the mid-2000s, there was an informal agreement that despite the similarities in their names, their platforms were fundamentally different and they were happy to co-exist on the condition of each company continuing its own unique distribution platform.
• Trademark infringement
 In 2009 TWiT became concerned that Twitter was going to develop audio and visual content that could challenge TWiT's. Twitter, however, stated that there were no plans of expanding to audio or visual under the Twitter brand. However, in May 2017 Twitter announced its plans to deliver original, premium video content exclusively from its platform.
TWiT's attorneys have since ordered Twitter to stop expanding on its trademark and both parties have engaged in communications with the goal of informally resolving this dispute. However, these efforts have not resolved the dispute, and Twitter has continued its expansion into TWiT's business.
