Feud between Yahoo and Facebook related allegations of patent infringement seems to be more heated. Moreover, the largest social networking site that was ready to counterattack. Previously, Yahoo dragged Facebook to court on 10 charges of patent rights that are violated. However, Mark Zuckrberg claimed have enough evidence to confront the allegations.
According to the GigaOM technology site sources quoted on Wednesday (3/14/2012), Facebook has all the rights of the patent that claims by Yahoo. Yahoo was previously asked for payment for patent licenses. Of a lot of companies that agreed to pay, just Facebook that refuse. This is what makes Yahoo furious, and bring an action against that biggest social network website in the world.
Of course, Yahoo should be prepared to challenge the validity of the patent claims. Of the 10 patents at issue, only two were related to social media technology. The rest are most focus on online advertising, including methods to prevent fraud and technology customization in web pages.
When this information is confirmed, Facebook declined to comment and choose not to address this issue.
