Non sono trapelate voci circa l’accordo tra Google ed IBM. Con questi 1.023 l’azienda di Mountain View ha superato quota 20.000 brevetti, quale sarà la prossima soglia da raggiungere?
Se facciamo un rapido calcolo delle ultime spese di BigG possiamo contare circa 12 miliardi di dollari spesi per possedere più di 20.000 brevetti, che dato l’andamento sono destinati sicuramente a crescere, anche grazie al fatto che molte società potrebbero far lievitare ulteriormente il numero di brevetti utili a Google per vincere questa specie di “guerra dei brevetti”.
Google difende bene ed a “suon di brevetto” il suo amato Android. Quali altre mosse è pronto a sferrare?
