eBay whacked with giant patent suit

eBay is being sued for a minimum of $3.8bn by a company which claims the auction house wilfully copied six of its patents.

Should eBay be found guilty of wilful and malicious infringement it would have to pay three times that or up to $11.4bn.

1. Presumably this refers to Billpoint
which Ebay bought in 1999.

Ebay didn't buy Paypal until 2002 after Paypal had gone public.
