Facebook serves Yahoo with counter-suit claiming infringement on 10 patents

Facebook has responded to Yahoo’s patent infringement suit with counterclaims that Yahoo infringes upon 10 of the social network’s patents, according to All Things D.

The company asks the court to dismiss Yahoo’s case and instead find Yahoo guilty of infringing on Facebook’s patents. Additionally, Facebook is requesting that Yahoo be prevented from further infringing on patents and that the Internet company pay damages and legal fees.

This is a strong response to what many saw as a cheap shot by Yahoo.
