5 Trends After Google Takeover Motorola

Google and Motorola

Google’s deal to acquire Motorola with $1.25 billion in cash shocks the world. Not like Google’s normal way, it was kept so secret that nobody realize it until it just happened. Like Techcrunch’s MG.Sigler said “Google is pulling off an acquisition that is larger than any that Microsoft, Apple, or any of their other main competitors ever have”, we’ll dig and penetrate how this deal will influence the tech world.

1.      Avoid Patent Battle to Replace Marketing Competition

It’s clear that patent battle fires up after Android started to boom. Each Android phone needs to pay $5 to Microsoft for license fee, which largely increase the cost of Android phone and make it hard to remain competitive. Then HTC, Samsung as well as Motorola weresued for patent infringement by Apple one by one all over the world, which makes Samsung’s newest Galaxy Tab 1.0 delay to launch in Europe or may be banned in Europe. That’s very frustrating for Google. All this happened is because Google doesn’t have any Patent to fight back. If Google acquires Motorola successfully, the 17000 patents and 7500 more Patents applicants will help Android manufactures get out of this situation.
