Google Decided To Sell Motorola To Lenovo

Google had agrees to sell motorola to chinese comapny lenovo for $2.91 billion. However, google have still their 17000 motorola lucrative patents. Google bought the motorola company in 2012 when the company was facing the financial problem. Google had paid $12.5 billion for this company.

We acquired Motorola in 2012 to help supercharge the Android ecosystem by creating a stronger patent portfolio for Google and great smartphones for users. Over the past 19 months, Dennis Woodside and the Motorola team have done a tremendous job reinventing the company. They’ve focused on building a smaller number of great (and great value) smartphones that consumers love. Both the Moto G and the Moto X are doing really well, and I’m very excited about the smartphone lineup for 2014. And on the intellectual property side, Motorola’s patents have helped create a level playing field, which is good news for all Android’s users and partners.
