Facebook and Yahoo in talks to resolve patent dispute, court filing confirms
Facebook and Yahoo are looking to settle two patent-infringement suits between the companies, according to a court filing from Yahoo.
Yahoo’s lawyers confirmed that the company is in negotiations with the social network and they requested the court grant them a two-week extension to file replies to the lawsuit and a two-week delay in a motion. Yahoo says it believes an extension will facilitate settlement.
Yahoo filed a lawsuit in mid-March, claiming Facebook infringed on 10 patents Yahoo holds related to advertising, privacy, customization, messaging and social networking.
