Video Game Firm Xfire Countersues Yahoo on Patents

"Online gaming company Xfire said on Thursday it countersued Yahoo Inc. (YHOO) in a legal battle over instant-messaging patents.

Yahoo previously had sued Xfire, alleging a former employee who went to work for the privately funded Xfire had developed products that infringed on Yahoo patents.

In its answer and countersuit filed in federal court in San Francisco, Xfire denied Yahoo's allegations and asked the court to dismiss Yahoo's complaint."
