So confused. So in essence, Google bought a team from HTC?
Google buys HTC's Pixel team, license to HTC's IP, and a RF lab (Subsidiary of HTC) for 1.1 billion USD.
> 本公司董事會決議通過出售世界通全球驗證股份有限公司100%股權予Google
The company is named 世界通全球驗證股份有限公司 (communication global certification inc), website[2].
What is a RF Lab?
It is impossible something like this be good to both, losing 100 people that have worked on the best project that the company has worked in the last years.
Or overpaid for just some people that are not soo great, as they thought.
HTC still has the Vive team.
From the blog post, seems to be a license.
In the press release of HTC[1]
> Google will continue to have access to HTC’s IP to support the Pixel smartphone family
Is it means HTC only licenses IP to Google, not sells them to Google?
