Still on Tuesday, Google could end up paying hundreds of millions of dollars to Yahoo, if it loses a little-noticed patent lawsuit, unfolding in a San Jose courtroom. The case pits Google against Overture Services, an Internet advertising company bought by Yahoo in 2003.

Overture claims it patented an online bidding system for ads seven months before Google introduced a similar system. Patent attorneys who have reviewed the suit said Overture's patent claims can't be easily dismissed.

On Wednesday, Ask Jeeves filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. After the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company will be able to offer and sell up to $400 million of its common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities and warrants from time to time, in one or more public offerings.

The terms of any such future offerings would be established at the time of such offering. A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC, but has not yet become effective.
