The smartphone industry is really in a tussle these days. The Apple v. Samsung case has affected, undoubtedly, how all the major players will view patent infringement, and Google is not immune to seeing the writing on the wall. Apple’s victory was about more than the Korean electronics giant, and according to Google, the company will probably approach the situation differently in the future.
Speaking to Bloomberg, Google vice-president of of corporate development, David Lawee, states the entire affair was a bit of a “wake up call.” Lawee also hopes the company is now paying more attention to the value of patents.
