Facebook Sued Over Dead Man's Patent

Facebook Sued Over Dead Man's Patent

Lawsuits happen all the time, especially where giant names and tons of money are involved. But this lawsuit is rather unusual: Facebook has been sued because it is accused of infringing on the patents of a Dutch programmer Joannes Jozef Everardus van Der Meer with its "Like" button.  Joannes Jozef has been dead for more than 8 years and the company that owns his intellectual property is behind the lawsuit. So why the sudden lawsuit.
