It emerged this week that Google and Yahoo! have settled a patent dispute which posed a serious legal threat to the former's online search business.
In a lawsuit filed two years ago, Yahoo! alleged that its former ally had infringed on its patented technology for matching adverts with internet search results.
In a filing with the SEC on Monday, Google announced that the settlement agreement, which is costing it 2.7 million shares (or around $328 million) will cause it to report a loss in the current quarter.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Yahoo! has agreed to license the disputed technology to Google.
