In May Google bought Motorola to the tune of $12.4 billion and though google has not exactly stated how it intend to uses Motorola, it however made it clear that it was buying the company because of it thousands of patents and patent applications. Speculations had it that ,
google will break the company to parts and sell off but that is yet to happen. What we see now , is that it intends laying off about 4,000 of the Motorola staff and reducing the number of branches worldwide. Employees have began receiving notification today concerning the cut of 20% of Motorola Mobility employees.
This plan to lay off workforce is the first step Google has taken since it bought the Motorola Mobility and it plans on restoring the company’s market. It also plans to trim down the number of handsets it makes.
In
my words, google surely bought the Motorola Mobility because of its
patents worth about $5 billion and it hopes on using this patent to help
Android’ defence against the likes of Phone makers that plan on taking
Android OS out of the market.I just knew Google would do something,
seeing how hard Apple is coming against Samsung; one of its OS users, it
better start preparing a strong defence for android just in case Apple
wins the case and comes after other Android OS users. You might wonder
how google is connected to the apple Samsung Trial and i will tell you
how.
Samsung is one of google’s partner because its mobile devices uses
Android Operating System and though Apple has not clearly attacked the
OS yet, it will because Android is taking over the market and that is
what Apple doesn’t want. Google might not directly comment or get
involved with the trial but one of the Leading attorneys in Samsung’s
defence comes from Google.
