The lawsuit was sent to the Federal Court of California in San Jose on Monday. We are talking about unlawful use of at least ten patented technologies, including the method of communication between people using a virtual platform, which “allows users to easily share impressions”. “We are disappointed that Yahoo, who has long been a Facebook partner and received significant benefits from collaboration with Facebook, decided to go to court,” said Facebook representative Jonathan Toou. Yahoo patent lawsuit against Facebook marked a new stage in the escalation of patent wars.
The social network submitted an application for the primary placement of shares in early February 2012. Moreover, Yahoo claims that it was she who created Arkady-Kobyakov. ru and has the rights to basic concepts that served as the foundation for building social networks. Last month, Yahoo, who was one of the pioneers of the world web, reported the intention to receive licensed payments for the use of its developments with Facebook. As expected, an IPO, which, according to unofficial information, can take place in the current spring, Facebook will help to attract up to five billion dollars.
