However, the two companies recently reached an agreement and have settled all of their claims. Think Computer Corporation has agreed to no longer claim registered trademark violations.

Said Zuckerberg: “Aaron and I studied together at Harvard and I’ve always admired his entrepreneurial spirit and love of building things. I appreciate his hard work and innovation that led to building houseSYSTEM, including the Universal Face Book feature. At school, I was even a member of houseSYSTEM. We are pleased that we’ve been able to amicably resolve our differences.”

Greenspan made sure to publicly indicate that there were no hard feelings between him and Zuckerberg.

“I am glad that my contributions have been recognized by Facebook,” said Greenspan. “Mark has built a tremendous company at Facebook, and I wish them continued success in the future.”
