Google Receives Voice Search Patent

Something worth watching for all patent attorneys (and wannabes like some of us) is the news that Google has been granted a patent for voice search.

Exactly what this means for the future of Internet searches and subsequent software development in that area remains unclear.

Perhaps it is a step in the direction of search engines being able to spider videos like this one on Choosing A Rehab Center or this one on TBI: What Families Need to Know, offered by traumaticbraininjury.com.

Of course, no one can know exactly where the field of patent law will go in the future, but for a law student with a keen interest in the Internet, this is a promising area to consider.
