Facebook Sued Over Two Patents

What is with all the patent lawsuits against Facebook lately? It's not like it is a new company and you just discovered these issues. Must be that money from the upcoming IPO.

Late last week, Canadian unified communications solutions company Mitel Networks filed a lawsuit against Facebook, alleging that the social networking has infringed on two of its patents. Facebook is sued over patents all the time, but they rarely happen by publicly listed companies (that’s why Yahoo’s attack is such a big deal). Mitel is listed on NASDAQ with a $186.53 million market cap, at the time of writing.
