“We look forward to a productive relationship with Twitter in the future,” he added.

The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“This acquisition of patents from IBM and licensing agreement provides us with greater intellectual property protection and gives us freedom of action to innovate on behalf of all those who use our service,” said Ben Lee, legal director for Twitter.
