Royalty payments? Can someone chime in here on the difference between the royalties Facebook is paying Yahoo versus what fees they want recompensed the lawsuit?
From the article "The company adds that Facebook has been “free riding” on Yahoo’s intellectual property and that royalty payments alone will not suffice."
Isn't there a contract drawn up for a company to pay another company money (i.e. royalties) so that they can't litigate against one another? It just sounds like Yahoo had undervalued or misconstrued how Facebook was going to use their patent tech.
