In brief: Facebook, Yahoo reach patent deal
From Wire Reports
SAN FRANCISCO – Facebook and Yahoo have agreed to settle a patent dispute, averting a potentially lengthy battle over the technology running two of the Internet’s most popular destinations.
In dropping the lawsuits, the companies agreed Friday to license their patents to each other. They are also agreeing to an advertising alliance that expands their existing partnership.
The advertising alliance could help Yahoo recover some of the revenue that it has been losing as marketers shift more of their spending to a larger and more engaged audience on Facebook’s online social network.
Friday’s settlement involves no exchange of money and comes after a monthslong patent squabble between the two Internet icons.
Yahoo filed the patent lawsuit in March, wielding it as a weapon against a company that then-CEO Scott Thompson believed had been prospering from the ideas of its older rival. The complaint alleged that Facebook infringed on Yahoo patents covering Internet advertising, privacy controls and social networks.
