big, bad patent lawsuits. Only this time, instead of
buying a hardware manufacturer to expand its patent warchest, team Mountain View merely purchased 1,023 bits of IP from IBM. Covering everything from a method for filling holes in printed wiring boards to a method for file system management, Google seems to have grabbed quite the eclectic collection -- one we're sure Big G will put to work for itself and
its buddies in no time. Those looking to see the full results of this latest patent shopping spree can hit the source link below.
