Det er netop patent slagsmålet der er en af hovedårsagerne til Googles køb af Motorola.
Nedenstående er fra Googles officiell blog
We recently explained how companies including Microsoft and Apple are banding together in anti-competitive patent attacks on Android. The U.S. Department of Justice had to intervene in the results of one recent patent auction to "protect competition and innovation in the open source software community" and it is currently looking into the results of the Nortel auction. Our acquisition of Motorola will increase competition by strengthening Google's patent portfolio, which will enable us to better protect Android from anti-competitive threats from Microsoft, Apple and other companies.

Man skal nok være opmærksom på 2 ting som investor.
1. Betydningen for HTC hvis google bliver hardware producent
2. Den relative vurdering af Nokia virker lav nu
