Google buys 1,000 patents from IBM

And continue with the subject of patents. The guys from the big G are open several fronts. Although they are a huge company, do not like getting into trouble.

One of the main advisors of Google, Jent Walker, commented at the time that the industry's new technology had a cancer: the patent. According to Walker, this type of wars is a serious problem which is damaging to the industry."Software patents are achieving innovation to stagnate slightly". A really tough statement.

But if you now say that, while Walker was talking about, Google bought more than 1,000 patents of IBM, things change do not you think? It is true that many of these patents are useful for Google, such as those on the manufacture of processors, memory architectures, servers and routers, or business process patents.  But it's a bit ironic that Google, through one of their spokesmen, say one thing and then the company another.

It seems that this movement is focused to help partners like HTC or Samsung are suffering because of this war of patents but the truth is that it is a pity that we have reached this situation.
