What has gone wrong? The prizing of patent quantity rather than quality is one cause for concern. A second is the rise in dubious patents. ON AUGUST 15th Google bid $12.5 billion for Motorola Mobility, a troubled American maker of mobile phones. If the purchase goes through, it will be Google's largest ever acquisition, almost doubling the size of its workforce. The attraction for the internet giant is not the handset-maker's 19,000 employees nor its 11% share of America's smartphone market, but its portfolio of 17,000 patents, with another 7,500 in the pipeline.
