Apple land-grabs fuel cells for mobiles
And the patent land-grab continues unabated, with Apple filing patent applications to forestall anybody else trying to plug smartphones into fuel cells. As far as El Reg can tell, Cupertino hasn’t actually built a fuel-cell-powered-cellphone, so we presume its two patent applications merely indicate directions in its research …

This will bring Google some economies of scale and no doubt some better margins on the products it sells, but all this is secondary to acquiring Motorola's patents.

The math is stark. Motorola has 17,000 patents, Google has about 1,000. As Google’s CEO Larry Page said in a blog postannouncing the deal, "our acquisition of Motorola will increase competition by strengthening Google's patent portfolio, which will enable us to better protect Android from anti-competitive threats from Microsoft, Apple and other companies."

Indeed, just a few weeks ago, Motorola Mobility Chairman Dr. Sanjay Jha boasted on an earnings call that its patent holdings separated it from the rest of the Android market.

"As most of you know, we own one of the strongest and most respected patent portfolios in the industry," Jha said. "We have over 17,000 patents granted and over 7,000 patents pending with particular strength in 2G and 3G essential, non-essential patents important to the delivery of competitive products in the marketplace, video particularly compression, decompression and security technologies and finally, a leading position in 4G LTE essential.

Indeed, a growing number of analysts and investors have been pushing Motorola to be more aggressive with its patents and to start targeting other Android vendors who are using its technology. Part of this is driven by the slow sales of its own products, but no one disputes that Motorola could do some damage if it went on the attack.

It seems Apple is determined to improve the battery life of its various devices after years of complaints from owners.
The tech firm has been awarded a patent for a 'fuel cell system' that would replace the clunky, toxic batteries found in its Macbooks with cells that have the potential to last 'days or even weeks.'
It is the second time, in a matter of weeks, Apple has been reported as looking to revamp how it powers its devices using the smaller, more environmentally-friendly technology.
