Yahoo!'s Overture & Google Settle Patent Dispute

Aug 9th

In the wake of a Google IPO this is a fairly quiet press release.

Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Google will take a license to U.S. Patent No. 6,269,361 and several related patents, held by Yahoo!'s wholly-owned subsidiary, Overture, and Yahoo! dismissed its patent lawsuit against Google. The two parties have also resolved a dispute regarding shares issuable to Yahoo! pursuant to a warrant to purchase Google shares in connection with a 2000 services agreement.

In connection with the settlement of the warrant dispute, the patent lawsuit, and in payment for the license, Google issued shares of its Class A common stock to Yahoo!. Press Release

Hello I've tried to open overture from URL in Aaron's book - http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
But the message I get is:
Sorry, Gone.
The requested resource is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address. Please remove all references to this resource............
I've tried to search for overture in the web and when I type any keyword I get 0 results for any keyword I've typed because original link http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ is not currently applicable.
How can I use web based overture tool?
