If you want to make a flashcard program, pray to gods Google will take pity on you and not enforce their patent. Otherwise, you better had set aside a couple of million dollars for the patent fight with Google. I mean, the patent will eventually get invalidated, but not before a decade in courts and millions of dollars in costs.
EDIT: Ignore everything I said. I got confused. I apologize. I am not going to change the original comment so the context of the replies would be preserved.
- lern_too_spel 7y agoWhy would Google pay to enforce a patent it doesn't own?
- klipt 7y agoSomebody confused (Google's (patents search)) with ((Google's patents) search)
- ReverseCold 7y agoIt looks like it's a person (not a company) that owns the patent too, so unless this person is a m/billionaire a court case doesn't even sound that bad.

- Hnrobert42 7y agoAll patents are granted to people not companies. The people may then assign to a company the right to enforce the patent.
- ReverseCold 7y agoOh, I actually didn't know that. Thanks!

- learc83 7y agoIt's not a Google patent. The article link is just a link to patents.google.com, which is a Google search engine for patents not a list of patents owned by Google.
