Yeah, but CBW was founder of Weyland Industries, rather than Weyland Corp.

'Industries' and 'Corp' are interchangeable.

From the About Us page:
"ABOUT WEYLAND CORP.
CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF BUILDING BETTER WORLDS.
At Weyland Industries we apply science, technology and our unparalleled global network of resources to the pursuit of Building Better Worlds.

Everyday Weyland biologists, military scientists, chemical engineers, geologists, mechanics, pilots and more work across our solar system to advance human interests and life. As they labor, new planets, natural resources, industries, modes of transportation, and medical advancements emerge and evolve before our eyes.

As the largest company on the planet we have taken it upon ourself to constantly explore, expand, and discover what lies beyond our own heavens.

50 years ago our founder Sir Peter Weyland set out to change the world. Now, the company he created so many years ago works tirelessly with the same unlimited ambition to improve the world he changed.

Worlds have risen and worlds have fallen. That’s why at Weyland Industries we’re in the business of Building Better Worlds."

But Weyland Industries only appears in AVP.

No need to use the WI name unless you're deliberately referencing AVP, or (as Necronom IV pointed out) the weylandcorp domain name has already been nabbed by someone else and marketing are having to adapt accordingly. I'd opt for the latter as the more likely route.

I think at this stage there's sufficient vagueness to argue that CBW was the founder of Weyland Ind in the 20th Century. PW founded Weyland Corp in the 2020s, which then incorporated Weyland Industries, at which point the names were used interchangeably. Hopefully marketing will at some point state that Peter's the founder of Weyland Industries as well!

And someone could even argue that Peter Weyland's 'dynamic breakthroughs in generating synthetic atmosphere above the polar ice cap that gained him worldwide recognition and spawned an empire' resulted from the acquisition of remaining Predator technology around thr Antarctic region.  Shocked

Far better to have left the WI name well alone, as well as that polar region reference!
