EBay settles 7-year dispute over patents

SAN FRANCISCO - Online auctioneer eBay settled a seven-year patent dispute Thursday with tech firm MercExchange, ending a legal entanglement that prompted a Supreme Court ruling on intellectual property.

EBay says it agreed to buy three MercExchange patents it has been accused of violating. EBay did not disclose financial terms of the settlement.
