Sometimes I search for the prices of the Lenovo Thinkpad laptops that support libreboot, but sometimes appears to me IBM Thinkpad. For example: I search for Lenovo Thinkpad T500 and I find IBM Thinkpad T500, is it the same?

Yes, it is.
Lenovo acquired IBM's personal computer business in 2005, including the ThinkPad laptop and tablet lines.

They paid 1.25 billion!? Wow...
Compare with the value of Microsoft's latest acquisition:
Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) and LinkedIn Corporation (NYSE: LNKD) on Monday announced they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Microsoft will acquire LinkedIn for $196 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at $26.2 billion, inclusive of LinkedIn’s net cash.
