Update : this is now
confirmed and corroborated .
Joseph Siino, the lawyer who built Yahoo Inc.'s intellectual property department, is leaving the struggling search giant.
Yahoo has lost a number of executives this year, its stock continues to slump, and it began the process of laying off 1,500 workers last week.
