Yahoo has gone ahead and sued Facebook over patents.
We reported this was happening last week, after we learned that talks between the two companies broke down.
Here's the official statement from Yahoo on the suit, via All Things D:
"Yahoo! has invested substantial resources in research and development through the years, which has resulted in numerous patented inventions of technology that other companies have licensed. These technologies are the foundation of our business that engages over 700 million monthly unique visitors and represent the spirit of innovation upon which Yahoo! is built. Unfortunately, the matter with Facebook remains unresolved and we are compelled to seek redress in federal court. We are confident that we will prevail."
