The patent they are getting caught up with is for the Universal Search. I read that the patch will dumb down the voice + google search bar to only perform google searches and not search through apps, contacts, etc... Supposedly the suit does/will not affect Google Now, though. Just another example of how terrible it is that patents are stifling progress. Also hilarious since Google's core is basically universal search.
