The deal worth $ 12.5 billion, which was announced last week, along with the production assets of Motorola Mobility search giant Google received and intellectual property of containing the 17 000 registered patents and a 7500 patent applications awaiting approval from the Bureau of Patent and Trademark (USPTO).
Despite the enormous amount of existing Motorola Mobility patents, according to David Mikson (David Mixon), a lawyer-patent company Bradley Arant Boult Cummings, a real value for Google are a total of 18 patents.
These patents relate to technologies that are vital for the manufacturing industry of mobile devices, including solutions for creating a service attitude, the development of the device antennas, implementation of the transfer function of e-mails, touch control, performance management software applications and wireless networks of the third generation.
It is these patents, according to experts, will help the U.S. search engine companies to fight with its closest competitors - Microsoft Corp, as well as Apple, who announced the most genuine representatives of a patent war Android-community.
"Any holder of the patent, before you start the patent litigation, it is necessary to carefully assess the value of the intellectual baggage - says Mixon .- You do not need to use all patents in dispute, as the most important need."
It should be noted that earlier this year, Google had only about 1,000 registered patents.
