Speculation about Google’s patent strategy – but I doubt IBM would have been shy about exercising its patents against Oracle
The newest batch of patents from IBM have only a handful of mobile telephony applications. Instead, they are rich in database intellectual property, including patent 6442548, titled "database interface for database unaware products," and patent 7831632, titled "method and system for reconstruction of object model data in a relational database."
That could be useful in Google’s ongoing litigation with Oracle. The database giant sued Google in August 2010 for infringing on copyrights and patents related to Java, which Oracle acquired along with Sun Microsystems earlier that year. The companies have been publicly… Continue reading: Google’s acquisition of IBM patents may aid its Oracle case | Digital Media – CNET News

Oracle had a bad quarter, but it can now point to at least one large Exadata cloud
Ellison also hinted that Apple is a big Oracle customer. He mentioned a “a very large American smartphone manufacturer” that had bought more than 30 Oracle Exadata systems as it built out its cloud.
