Apple and Samsung's legal tussles have previously placed a spotlight on stuff like 2011: A Space Odyssey by way of prior art. Now Google's patent search is giving prior art some love as well with the addition of the aptly named "Prior Art Finder" to its patent search tool. Marked by a patently obvious blue button, the new addition serves up relevant prior art results by using key phrases from a patent's text and putting them together in a search query. Besides drawing from Google Patents, the finder also displays results from Google Scholar, Google Books and the web's other nooks and crannies.
