Patent 573907 (Photo credit: Michael Neubert)

Facebook battled 22 patent suits against it last year. Facebook buying 750 patents from patent-leader IBM could be a sign that it is either concerned about Yahoo or the Yahoo suit simply woke the company up that it would be a target for major suits as well. more> http://is.gd/c1wLa7
