If Google wanted to claim some kind of ownership over SERPs, that would be ridiculous because you could easily argue that there is only one correct set of "ten links ordered from most relevant to least" for each query. Eventually all search engines will converge on the same ten results for every query. I don't think Google ever made such a claim of ownership, but it was taken that way by some.
