Yahoo vs. FindWhat ends in mistrial

The lawsuit between Yahoo (as Overture) and FindWhat regarding questions of patent infringement ended in a mistrial this week when the jury was unable to decide on all counts. Yahoo chose to regard it as a victory, claiming that the undecided elements were not the most important ones.

It wasn’t a very good week for FindWhat anyway as they were named in another lawsuit regarding alleged securities fraud. The initial complaint came from Zucco Partners according the filing.
