According to fortune magazine's online edition, as is known to all, Google is not money, but also for self-driving cars and new energy industry's ambition is very big, but that does not prevent it to sell battery technology related patents.

Google auction battery patent documents

Google, according to a document, is currently in its sale of 207 battery technology patents, of which 138 items for the United States patent, 69 patents for foreign regions. Google patent can be divided into "hybrid batteries", "charge" and "hardware" and so on six big kinds, it is accepting the offer.

Patent document with particular emphasis on the five "characteristics," presumably these patents may appeal more. Such as the patent in the United States patent number for US6320354, its name is called "battery charging device and method."

Google has yet to respond to this reason, but we may be able to find the answer in the patent record. Records show that Google auction at first all of these patents belongs to MOTOROLA mobility, Google in 2011 paid $12.5 billion for the company to lenovo after ().

At that time, Google is in mobile phone industry, such as Microsoft rivals in the legal dispute. Industry is generally believed that Google is willing to spend with MOTOROLA mobility, because of its 17000 patents took a fancy to the latter, because it can deal with a large number of lawsuits.

However, this strategy is not universal. In last year, for example, an appeals court found that Google maliciously using some patents, undermined the "standard key patent" fair and reasonable fee agreement, therefore, the court ruled in support of the previous that Google must pay $14 million in damages.

Therefore, Google auction patent is likely to be in order to lose some unwanted assets, rather than a major strategic transformation. Google is not only in the field of big push into the battery, still in the development of self-driving cars with auto manufacturers cooperation.

With, Google also on a more low-key war on defense intellectual property strategy. It is reported, Google and other companies set up a named "Licenseon Transfer" (LOT), patent alliance commitment when sold in foreign patent will these patent rights granted to the other members of the alliance. In addition, if a startup to join the league of the alliance will be part of the patent license.

Google is gradually in recent years as a patent "power." According to a report on Wednesday, Google topped the ranking of fifth most patented company last year.
