Its purchase of Motorola Mobility (for $12.5 billion) gives Google ownership of 17,000 mobile patents, with thousands more pending. Because of this shares have risen in Samsung and HTC by 4% and 2% respectively.
There are those that are not fans of Google, I can see their point, Google are posed to take over the cyber world, is this a bad thing? When Google have taken over every thing except perhaps Apple, what will the world be in for then?
Of course it all depends on how you look at things, the latest acquisition means Android software licensed phones, could now and in the future, receive patent lawsuit protection.
"Google is a massive global software company with huge profit margins, genius engineers, extraordinarily high pay scales and a near-monopoly on the most amazing advertising business the world has ever seen," Blodget wrote. "Motorola is a has-been, low-margin, global hardware-manufacturing business that operates at break-even."
