Facebook defied after accusing German site StudiVZ of design rip-off
The head of a German social networking site has strongly defended his firm against a lawsuit brought by US giant Facebook which claims it has ripped off the design of the site. In a statement issued over the weekend, studiVZ chief executive Marcus Riecke dismissed Facebook as "arrogantly laying claim to an international monopoly" and denied that his site had received any official legal complaint from Facebook. Lawyers for Facebook filed an intellectual property lawsuit in a court in California on Friday. "We believe that our success thus far has been directly related to the unique look and feel of both the site and user interface, and are very disappointed that StudiVZ has unfairly used our creativity, innovation and effort by building a 'clone' site to compete directly against us," said deputy general counsel Mark Howitson. "Ultimately, we are supporters of innovation, not imitation." Riecke said Facebook's action was down to its struggle to build market share in Germany. "Their strategy appears to be: If you can't beat them, sue them," he said. "Facebook was not the first [social network] and certainly isn't the only one. By attempting to harm studiVZ through a meritless California lawsuit, Facebook is arrogantly laying claim to an international monopoly over social networking sites that the facts show it does not deserve." StudiVZ's lawyers applied to a Stuttgart district court late on Friday to declare the Facebook claims to be without merit. Targeted at students, the network of three studiVZ sites has built a core following in Germany, Austria, Belgium and Switzerland, claiming 10 million unique users each month. Last year it was bought by the publishing firm Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck for €70.5 (£56.1m). Facebook launched its German-language version on March 3 as part of wider international expansion. · To contact the MediaGuardian news desk email editor@mediaguardian.co.uk or phone 020 7239 9857.
