Yahoo has filed a patent suit against Facebook on Monday which includes patents covering its privacy policy, advertising methods, messaging system, customization options and social networking technology.
Yahoo filed this patent suit at a vulnerable time for Facebook. Yahoo might be hoping that filing this suit now will make Facebook more open to a settlement. Yahoo has used similar strategy and timing which added to its advantage when it took on Google in a 2004 lawsuit, due to which Yahoo got millions of shares of Google stock.
