Google Eyes New Way To Combat Patent Trolls

Google has announced a new way for patent owners looking to make some cash off their creations to do just that.

Starting May 8 and running through May 22, Google will offer an “experimental” program that will allow patent owners to sell individual patents to the search company. For its Patent Purchase Promotion, Google will review the patent submissions to determine whether it’s interested in the intellectual property. If Google decides to acquire a patent and enters into an agreement with the patent owner, the search company will make payment by late August.
