The 1,030 patents cover a wide range of technologies, including "the
fabrication and architecture of memory and microprocessing chips,"
according to the blog SEO By The Sea, which first spotted the filings.
Google has purchased more than 1,000 patents from
IBM in an effort to build up its intellectual property portfolio,
possibly with an eye to fending off the increasing number of IP lawsuits
the search giant faces from competitors such as Microsoft.
