ConnectU sued Facebook in 2004 because it alleged that Mark Zuckerberg, one of Facebook's founders, had stolen their idea and code while working on a project for them. The lawsuit claimed that Zuckerberg had misappropriated their intellectual property when he was supposed to be helping them with their social networking site. This dispute centered around accusations of breach of contract and fraud, leading to significant legal battles between the two parties. Ultimately, ConnectU sought damages and a share of Facebook's profits.
