WIPO: World Intellectual Property Report 2011:

WIPO’s World Intellectual Property Report 2011 focuses on the Changing Face of Innovation. It describes key trends in the innovation landscape - including the increasingly open, international and collaborative character of the innovation process; the causes of the increased demand for IP rights; and the rising importance of technology markets. Against this background, the Report explores the ways in which economists’ views of the IP system have evolved. Finally, it takes a closer look at collaborative innovation models, analyzing how best to balance private collaboration and competition, and how best to harness public research for innovation.

Now it’s Yahoo’s turn for the patent bonanza, as it seems:

Yahoo! has 1,100 US patents granted and 2,661 applications pending in the US.
…

Gill believes Yahoo!’s portfolio has broad applicability in a number of areas including paid search, display, and social networking.
…

In 2003, Yahoo! paid $1.5 billion for Overture Serivces Inc. and $235 million for Inktomi. At the time, many described both acquisitions as leaving Yahoo! the owner of a “treasure chest” of patents. At the time, the most valuable patent was the one for pay-per-click advertising filed by GoTo.com, then owned by Overture.
