It links to the original lawsuit (https://arstechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IBM.Group...) as well as the 4 patents: 5,796,967, 7,072,849, 5,961,601, and 7,631,346

Just purely out of curiosity when reading this. It seems like a lot of companies license these specific patents (eg. Twitter, Alphabet) as mentioned in the article. Does anyone know what patents they were referring to?
