With the February 13, the EU and the U.S. Department of Justice approved Google's $ 12.5 billion acquisition of Motorola's mobile, high-tech giants patent conflict era. Google's acquisition of Motorola, took a fancy to its 17,000 mobile patent portfolio, in order to contend with the growing of apples.
This situation makes people think the Cold War, if both sides have enough weapons to destroy each other, but it did not dare to use them, and it will be fear of retaliation would make a lose-lose. This analogy does not seem to occur, because Apple and Google, Motorola warning or to sue each other.
So it seems, it is not the Cold War, but a hot war. And, in Forbes seems to put aside the legal speak, most of these conflicts will eventually relatively modest agree. If the parties really crazy to spend millions of dollars fighting each other in court, it might as well use this time to ignore these stupid things, wisely re-invention of new technology, the manufacture of new products, rather than war-making.
In addition, the EU will be watching closely to prevent inter-company use of patents to expand the unhealthy competition or patent litigation. The statement said: "The Commission will continue to closely observe the behavior of the industry in which all competitors, especially those increasingly frequent patents for strategic measures."
So, even if the multinational companies can ignore the EU's frequent warnings and it still have a certain binding EU measures, especially if the U.S. Department of Justice agree with it.
Latest news: In addition, a consortium including Microsoft and Blackberry companies headed by an apple's also received the approval of the Ministry of Justice, to allow it to acquire bankrupt Canadian company Nortel Networks patent portfolio. Apple has also acquired the Novell patents. After the news, Google shares rose about 1 percent more than the Nasdaq composite index rose slightly.
