Google's entire stock again a thousand patents IBM

Patent wars in the information technology and telecommunications industry seems to still ongoing. Google as one of the players come back to buy new ammunition in order to strengthen its portfolio in the future from its competitors lawsuit.

This time, Google bought more than 1,000 patents owned by IBM. This is not the first purchase since July 2011, Google also has bought more than 1,000 patents IBM. Most of the patents are derived from IBM and a small portion comes from Cognos, a company acquired by IBM in the year 2007. This was first reported by Seo By The Sea.

With the purchase of IBM's patent for the second time this coupled with the possibility of success of Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility, Google's patent portfolio is estimated to be ballooned to achieve at least 27,000 patents.

Like the previous transaction in July, the purchase of IBM's patents are not mentioned. Patents are bought by Google according to SEO By The Sea was in the field of desktop and server hardware, computer security, database processes, circuit design, parallel database systems and architecture, user authentication, creditcard / smartcard testing, and many others.

A patent of interest is about Disambiguating System And Method For Entities In A Web Page Search which is a joint invention Ramanathan Guha. Ramanathan Guha worked for three years at IBM and then moved to Google in 2005. At Google, he worked on the Google Custom Search and the people who are behind Google trust rank that play a role in ranking the writer / producer of the content on places like Google + and possibly also in the web search results.

This indicates Google is not just focused in buying patents related to the smartphone or tablet, but also related to the search engines to consolidate their position in search engines.

It seems that after the defeat Google in Nortel patent auction, Google is constantly trying to increase their patent portfolios. So far IBM's patent portfolio is the largest contributor (Motorola approved prior to its acquisition) for Google.

Some of IBM's patents that Google bought was strongly associated with the smartphone industry such as:

1. Coordination Of Cellular telephones In A Residential Area Wired To Obviate Need For Residential Service

2. Method And System For Efficient And Reliable Mac-Layer Wireless Multicast Transmissions

3. System And Method Of Making Location Updating Management On A Mobile Station, Mobile Station And Mobile Network
