Northeastern University has sued Google in the patent-friendly federal court for the Eastern District of Texas, accusing the search giant of infringing upon its work.
US News college rankings shows an institution that isn't hurting for money. The 2008 rankings cite an endowment topping $612 million.
Students pay $43,000 per year for tuition and room & board, if they get in as US News considers Northeastern a "more selective" school.
If merit for this case has existed over the past several years, it seems Northeastern could have backed a suit against Google at any point it desired. The lengthy delay due to Jarg's claim it couldn't afford to finance the litigation makes us wonder why Northeastern didn't just go ahead and back this in an earlier time.
