The Legal Battle Between Facebook And Yahoo Escalates | Blog ...

The legal battle of patents by?Yahoo?against?Facebook?has just heated up once more.?Yahoo?has just filed in two more suits against the social networking giant, charging them against two more patent infringements.? The search engine company has now claimed that?Facebook, which was previously charged with infringing 10 intellectual properties, now has infringed two extra.

The whole battle started last month when?Yahoo?filed a lawsuit against?Facebook, claiming the company stealing on ideas. In an attempt to defend itself,?Facebook?countersued?Yahoo?by filing patent infringement against them. The entire battle has raised a lot of talk between other IT companies. Usually all of them reserve patents to defend against lawsuits from other companies, but?Yahoo?s attempt to sueFacebook?does not sound like any defensive measure.

When asked,?Yahoo?clearly denied setting up charges for?Facebook, said it was the social network in the first place which started unfair business tactics. According to?Yahoo, the two had an agreement whichFacebook?broke, causing the search engine company to retaliate.

Facebook?has denied patent infringement by?Yahoo?saying that it will continue to defend against any company who starts claims that do not make any sense.??Facebook?has been seeing a lot of growth in its total user database, but has also seen the growth levels fall by almost 50% from what it was two years ago. In addition to that, the company has also shown that their revenue remains the same despite the growth quickly falling down.

In an attempt to protect itself from such patent claims,?Facebook?has been actively purchasing patents from other companies such as Microsoft, Google and IBM. The social networking website company has paid in millions to Microsoft to purchase patents for AOL. A similar move was detected when?Facebook?paid another hefty sum to IBM to purchase another set of patents.

In the future, if?Facebook?has acquired enough patents from other companies, it might have a little more immunity against attacks such as the one?Yahoo?has just initiated. But for now, the battle has heated up and only time will tell if?Yahoo?s claims are accurate or false.
