Given that MM owns 10,000+ patents, presumable that now means that Google owns them?

If the deal goes through, Google will control them, but those patents failed to deter litigation by Apple and Microsoft.

For Android device makers Google's Motorola deal is potentially very bad news. They'll have to compete on a non-level playing field then.

For HTC this is certainly the opposite of good news.

I would caution everyone against overestimating the strength of Motorola Mobility's patent portfolio. Apple and Microsoft sued $MMI anyway.
