Facebook roundup: Yahoo patent dispute resolved with new partnership; stock rises, same-sex marriage icons and more

Facebook and Yahoo have resolved their patent disputes out of court, agreeing to cross-license their patent portfolios and begin a new advertising partnership, according to a press release. All Things D, which broke the news this morning, says the settlement does not involve any payment between the companies. Facebook will license a little more than half of Yahoo’s digital patent portfolio and agree not to sue on the remaining ones, which Facebook can license or buy in the future.
