Facebook Fights Back, Countersues Yahoo For Patent Infringement
In response to being sued by Yahoo for patent infringement last month, Facebook today filed counter-claims against Yahoo for infringing 10 of its own patents. Facebook says the following Yahoo features and properties violate its intellectual property: Yahoo Home Page, Yahoo?s Content Optimization and Relevance Engine�(?C.O.R.E.?), the Yahoo Flickr photo sharing service, and advertisements displayed throughout�Yahoo. Facebook also denied the original claims against it from Yahoo. The two lawsuits could effectively end up causing a stalemate between the companies that could prevent Facebook from having to pay exorbitant patent licensing fees to Yahoo or having to shut down some of its services. Facebook's legal response and full counter-claim can be seen here and below.
