I'm a hippie! I've been posting like mad on this! Read this to see what it's all about:

Yahoo Inc. filed a lawsuit against Xfire on January 28, 2005 claiming patent infringement over US Patent No. 6,699,125. The first we heard of Yahoo’s patent infringement claims was a call made the night before Yahoo filed its lawsuit. Yahoo never attempted to contact us beforehand nor did it send a cease & desist letter.

If you don't know what Xfire is it's a chat program where you can also join your friends games they are playing and chat with them in game and so on. Yahoo has a similiar but *cough*crappier*cough* program. As you can see in the above statement, Yahoo didn't even attempt contacting Xfire before hand. It seems like they are running scared, thinking the underdog might beat them in something since Xfire is much more popular than Yahoo's program.
