David Martin , the founder and chairman of patent consulting firm M - Cam , pronounce that spending $ 12.5 billion on Motorola Mobility was “ an huge mistake ” because Motorola had sold off a lot of its salutary patents year before . According to Martin , all Google did was paint an immense prey on their back .
Google snag 17,000 patents in the Motorola acquisition ( 18 of ’em were purportedly very important in protect Android ) but if they did n’t do their preparation , like Martin claims , they just pissed off Android manufacturing business ( like Samsung and HTC ) for no reasonableness . I guess , or hope , Google has a better understanding of patent than that . We ’ll see what happens as this Cold War of Patents continue . [ BloombergviaWinSuperSite ]
