facebook反擊雅虎侵犯其10項專利的指控（更新：專利詳情）
Facebook剛剛對雅虎的新專利戰進行了反擊，聲稱雅虎正在侵犯10項專利。上個月，雅虎（Yahoo）在這場小衝突中開了先河，它提出了一項專利侵權訴訟，指控這家社交媒體巨頭侵犯了其10項專利，涉及頁面廣告、線上隱私和網路成員之間的互動。
就在雅虎發起訴訟幾天后，我們得知Facebook已經從IBM購買750項專利，顯然是為了支援其缺乏的60項美國專利組合。然而，看來，IBM的專利中沒有任何一項今天進入Facebook的反訴訟。所以，讓我們來看看Facebook實際使用什麼來瞄準雅虎。
US Patent No. 7,827,208 - this patent claims priority back to 2008 (granted 2010) and covers a method of generating a personalized story on a social network based on the user's acti*** and the common acti*** of other users. Facebook claims that Photostream, Recent Activity and Groups Activity features on Flickr infringe the patent.
US Patent No. 7,945,653 - this patent, identifying Mark Zuckerberg as the first listed inventor, claims priority back to 2008 (granted 2011) and covers a method of allowing a user to reject his or her identification in digital media posted by another user. Facebook claims that the People in Photos feature of Flickr infringes the patent.
US Patent No. 6,288,717 - this patent claims priority back to 1999 (granted 2001) and was just assigned over to Facebook three days ago. It covers a method of providing a user with selected, ranked and posted topics of interest on their page based on that user's identified interests. Facebook claims that Yahoo's home page infringes the patent.
US Patent No. 6,216,133 - this patent claims priority back to 1995 (granted 2001) and was originally filed by Philips Corp. The patent was assigned to Facebook in December 2011. The broadest claims cover a method of fetching information based on a user's past interaction patterns. Facebook alleges that My Yahoo, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Travel, Flickr, and various other Yahoo services infringe the patent.
US Patent No. 6,411,949 - this patent claims priority back to 1999 (granted 2002) and was also originally filed by Philips and assigned to Facebook last December. The patent covers a system for "enhancing content" by selecting and supplying media to a user based on the user's profile or preferences. Like the '133 patent, Facebook alleges that numerous Yahoo services infringe this patent.
US Patent No. 6,236,978 - this patent claims priority back to 1997 (granted 2001). The patent covers the creation of a user profile based on static factual information (e.g., sex, age, location, etc.) for the user and dynamic information based on transacti*** by the user (e.g., purchase preferences). Again, Facebook claims Flickr, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports and other services infringe.
US Patent No. 7,603,331 - this patent claims priority back to 1997 (granted 2009) and covers a method of providing a user with dynamic recommendati*** based on historical data for the user. Flickr and the litany of other Yahoo services are listed again as infringing.
US Patent No. 8,103,611 - this patent claims priority back to 1995 (granted 2012) and covers providing a user with a recommendation based on "multidimensional data," using the Cartesian product of the dimensi***. This is a nerdy one, and continues the trend of alleging that nearly all of Yahoo's services infringe.
US Patent No. 8,005,896 - this patent claims priority back to 1998 (granted 2011) and was assigned over to Facebook in February. The patent covers the specific network procedures for allowing users to request and exchange content. Facebook alleges that Flickr infringes this patent.
US Patent No. 8,150,913 - this patent claims priority back to 1998 (granted 2012) and was also just assigned over to Facebook in February. The patent covers controlling access to user profile information on a network, and allowing users to individually grant other users access to interact with videos and photos.
這就是小結。這裡沒有什麼驚喜。絕大多數的專利都涵蓋了你所期望的社交媒體專利：對使用者互動的控制以及使用者在網路上顯示和訪問的內容和資訊。然而，值得註意的是，榜單上只有前兩項專利實際上來自於Facebook的工作——其餘專利是最近從其他公司轉讓或授權給Facebook的。雅虎將被要求在本月晚些時候對這些侵權指控作出回應，除非有時間延長，因此我們將密切關註此事，並隨時向您通報最新情況。
