Just on Sunday, I wondered when Google would take on Lexis and Westlaw in the legal research field as Bloomberg has already done.

Google scholar now includes features where you can search for cases (legal opinions and journals) and patents in addition to articles:

I couldn't resist searching for my name.  One of the top results: a European patent for "Apparat for Avvanning Av Slam" translated as "Apparatus for Draining of Sludge."  I didn't know I had Dutch relatives working in financial markets.

I still am curious when Google will move into Bloomberg's home turf of financial data, analytics, and content.
