Google, Dropbox band together to fight patent trolls
2014-07-10 14:11:46| InfoWorld: Top News
Google, Dropbox, and a few other high-tech firms have come up with a new way to help defend themselves against patent trolls. Patent trolls, or "non-practicing entities," are companies that buy up old patents and try to monetize them by accusing others of infringement. They usually request a one-off licensing fee to end a lawsuit, something many companies reluctantly pay because it's cheaper than defending the claim.

Google launches European arm of venture capital fund
2014-07-10 08:49:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Google has announced the launch of a European arm of its venture capital fund, Google Ventures, with an initial funding of USD 100 million. The vehicle will aim to "invest in the best ideas from the best European entrepreneurs, and help them bring those ideas to life," said Google in a statement. The company will be based in Clerkenwell, near London's 'Silicon Roundabout' tech area. However, Google made it clear that the new fund's investments will be made throughout Europe. Speaking to the Financial Times, David Drummond, Google's senior vice president of corporate development, said the investment stemmed from a belief that the continent could become home to some of the world's biggest tech companies. "Every European capital I travel to I see these start up clusters. Its obvious that great companies will come out of these ecosystems," he said.
