A University of California patent licensee is suing Facebook for alleged patent infringement -- but at least the social network has some company. Eolas Technologies Inc and the Regents of the
University of California also filed lawsuits against Wal-Mart and the Walt Disney over four patents they believe the companies are infringing. As Reuters reports, the patents for interactive
technology, including hypermedia display and interaction, were issued to the university and licensed to Eolas, a Texas company chaired by Michael Doyle.
