I fail to see what is novel about "delivering X via drone". Is delivering a new thing via truck patentable?
What, specifically, did they invent? Its the same patent landgrab as software patents where it is "do X, but on the internet".
I'd call this as IBM trying to lay down a patent minefield against those that would actually engage in commerce. In this sense, the patent does not advance the arts or sciences and should fail the sniff test for granting an absolute monopoly to a corporation on some action.
