District Court Judge Orders Facebook To Reveal Source Code In Patent Dispute
Of course, Facebook is going to fight tooth and nail against this, and is sure to appeal the ruling.
Facebook has given us the following statement regarding the case:
While we respect the magistrate judge’s opinion, we disagree with it on this point and plan to appeal. Generally, this suit is without merit and we will continue to fight it aggressively.
This isn’t the only legal battle Facebook is facing. It’s currently being sued by Power.com over issues related to data portability, as well as by multiple advertisers alleging click fraud.
