Mobile lawsuits have been flinging back and forth through much of
2011, whether its Apple attacking Samsung repeatedly for its
Android-powered Galaxy Tab 10.1 and smartphones, or Samsung fighting
back with a 3G lawsuit against Apple. Apple even slammed Amazon with a
lawsuit because its Android Appstore had a name much too similar to
Apple’s “App Store.”
With so many patent lawsuits being thrown around recently, Google, maker of the Android operating system, bought over 1,000 patents in order to protect itself.
Jim Prosser, a spokesman for Google, confirmed this week that Google bought 1,023 patents from International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) on August 17, according to Bloomberg. Prosser, however, did not offer details on financial terms.
