Firm to sue Facebook over timeline

A Chicago-based social media company called Timelines can sue Facebook over allegations that it violated the smaller firm's trademark on the word "timeline", a federal judge has ruled.

Timelines launched a website called Timelines.com in 2009 that enables users to track historical events and their personal lives online. Two years later, Facebook launched a major new feature it called "timeline", which similarly allows users to highlight their lives online in chronological order.
