Jury verdict gives Facebook victory in patent case!
McLEAN, Va. (AP) - Facebook successfully defended itself against a
lawsuit that claimed the social media company infringed on patents held
by a Dutch programmer who launched a website called "Surfbook" more than
a decade ago.
A holding company called Rembrandt
Social Media had
alleged that a now-deceased Dutch computer programmer, Joannes Van Der
Meer, developed and patented methods for running a Web-based personal
diary before
Facebook came into existence in 2003. But Van Der Meer's
website, Surfbook, never got off the ground.
What say you San Diego!
