"Patent issues" has become a (sometimes truthful) excuse for not doing something.

When the big boys want to do something, they find a way to get it done, patents or no, especially if there's only "fear of patents" - see Apple and the whole watch fiasco.

Patents was not the latest excuse I heard from Google. Their explanation was security concerns.
