Google seeks to copyright new Web app tech now.

Google has filed at least four copyright applications for technology its structure into its Chrome browser to try to make the Web a more influential foundation for applications.

Three patent applications anxiety Google’s Native Client, a technology for hire downloaded software modules run in a straight line on a processor somewhat than more slowly from side to side on-the-fly decoding as with the usually used JavaScript. And one patent application involves O3D, a technology to let browser applications take advantage of 3D speeding up of graphics hardware.

Patents can serve a diversity of purposes. They can be used to stay competitors away from new technology until the patent expires. They can be licensed to others for their use or used as bargaining chips at what time negotiating patent cross-license agreements with the intention of let companies use each other’s patents. They can be hoarded for defensive purposes, prepared for deployment in a patent breach counter suit if an additional sues one company. They can be used to increase more favorable terms in the formation of industry standards that relate to the patents. And of route they can bolster business chest thumping when it comes time to boast about levels of innovation.

Therefore, Google hasn’t proven to be a litigious company, but its presence is looming ever larger over the computing industry. The new patents are in a predominantly fast-moving area, the development of Web browsers and associated technology for making cloud computing a more powerful groundwork for applications.

In the end, Google hopes to standardize the technology consequently all browsers can use it, although it’s not waiting for a standard.
