In re: Yahoo! Litigation

Leave a reply

The firm was co-lead counsel.  This case was brought about in May of 2006 against Yahoo! on behalf of pay-per-click search advertising customers who claim Yahoo! breached its contract by allowing Yahoo! ads to be displayed in spyware, domain name parking sites (also known as bulk registration sites), pop-ups, pop-unders, and typosquatting sites. After participating in four mediation sessions the parties finally reached a settlement of this class action, documentation found below:
