Lenovo buys 2.19 billion dollars for motor mobility: only 2000 Patents

Text/Wang Jiecong 2011 Google spent 12.5 billion dollars to take off the motorcycle movement, and today sold to Lenovo only sold 2.9 billion U.S. dollars, the biggest difference is the reason for the patent. Motorola as the invention of mobile phone business, in the field of mobile phone is the originator of the originator, the company decades of accumulation has more than 15000 patents, and previously Google's acquisition is also considered to be a patent purchase. This time, Lenovo's acquisition, together with trademarks, brands, 3,500 employees of the dowry, only 2000 patents. But in other ways, Lenovo does not need all the patents. There are so many reasons. 1, Lenovo may not have been able to afford all. 12.5 billion dollars, although the Moto business every year, but the patent more and more valuable, and Lenovo hands with loans on the 4.2 billion dollar, can not afford. 2, Google more than Lenovo need these patents. Most of these patents are an important part of building an Android ecosystem, and Google's space for a proprietary pool is needed to protect against patent lawsuits, and Google's protection of the Android camp is necessary, and the patent is ammunition. Google will not sell this part of the patent. 3, Lenovo got the necessary. The most important thing for Lenovo, compared with 2000 patents, is to have all the patents authorized, and this includes all the patents for motorcycles and all the companies that cross the franchise. The last part of the accumulation will be immense. For Lenovo, the new person, the right to a patent is more important, Lenovo's current goal is to sell more terminal equipment, rather than patent lawsuits to make money.
