Did Google acquire Motorola just to prepare its patent arsenal?

  It's impossible to know from the outside, but there was a lot of conjecture about that.

  That acquisition made a lot of strategic sense for a variety of reasons.. Not the least of which is their core business in producing phones and even for that matter cable set top boxes (see Google Fiber). That being said the IP was surely a significant factor.

  If there was any doubt about it in the past, it should be put to rest now.
