Facebook countersues over ‘want’ button – Facebook this week filed a countersuit against Michigan-based company CVG-SAB, which claims the social network’s unreleased “want” button is infringing on the trademark of its own button of the same name. CVG-SAB says it began marketing a want button in September 2010 to allow consumers to keep track of products and services they want around the web.

Facebook tested a want button, as well as “like” and “collect” options, in its Collections feature earlier this year. The social network also seemed to be testing a plugin that created a want button for third-party sites, but that feature was never released. CVG-SAB says there is already confusion in the marketplace. Facebook denies it is violating any of the Michigan company’s trademarks, claiming “want” is an everyday term. Facebook is asking the court to drop the suit against it and to cancel all of CVG-SAB’s trademarks and trademark applications for the want button.

Judge dismisses antitrust case against Facebook – A federal judge on Thursday dismissed an antitrust complaint against Facebook, ruling that the social network has the right to exclude users who install software to change the look of its site or swaps out its ads. A company that lets users personalize their Facebook page with custom images through an application called PageRage claimed that Facebook violated antitrust law by pressuring advertisers to stop using PageRage and locking out users until they they removed the program from their browsers. U.S. District Judge Cathy Ann Bencivengo said in her ruling:

There is no fundamental right to use Facebook; users may only obtain a Facebook account upon agreement that they will comply with Facebook’s terms, which is unquestionably permissible under the antitrust laws. It follows, therefore, that Facebook is within its rights to require that its users disable certain products before using its website.
