Facebook unveils new design, sues German rivalSan Francisco  - Social networking site Facebook unveiled a redesigned web site Monday after suing German rival studiVZ that Facebook claimed stole its previous look and interface.

"We believe that our success thus far has been directly related to the unique look and feel of both the site and user interface, and are very disappointed that StudiVZ has unfairly used our creativity, innovation and effort by building a 'clone' site to compete directly against us," said deputy general counsel Mark Howitson. "Ultimately, we are supporters of innovation, not imitation."
