The IBM deal could help assuage concerns that the company lacks the
intellectual property it needs, said Erin-Michael Gill of MDB Capital Group.
?This is a very big deal,? he said. ?Facebook is now where it?s supposed to
be.?
In documents filed with regulators last month in preparation for its
forthcoming stock market floatation, Facebook admitted that it is likely to
face more legal attacks.
?We expect the number of patent and other intellectual property claims against
us to grow,? it said.
?We may introduce new products, including in areas where we currently do not
compete, which could increase our exposure to patent and other intellectual
property claims.?
IBM has long emphasised its intellectual property portfolio, and last year
alone was granted more than 6,000 new patents.
As well as Facebook, it recently sold patents to Google, which is also under
legal attack, particularly around its Android mobile operating system.
