Becoming the owner of Motorola, Google started a major restructuring of its acquisition. First, the number of mobile devices developer staff was reduced by 20%, then Google announced its intention to sell unwanted units.
The restructuring will cost Google around $ 340 million. The funds will be used for payment of severance and other related costs. In addition, Google plans to start cleaning staff in other regions outside the U.S., which, in turn, will lead to new costs that, according to the giant, could be significant.
The main purpose of Motorola acquisition, is the huge package of patents owned by the developer. Thus the Internet giant is trying to protect themselves and their partners from attacks by the well-known patent troll, which, for example, can be safely attributed to Apple.
