Lenovo will stop using the Motorola name on mobile phones this year, according to a report on CNET. Instead it says it’ll rely on the ‘Moto’ brand and the Motorola M logo.

The mobile phones will apparently be described as ‘Moto by Lenovo’, although the Motorola name will remain as a division of Lenovo. Lenovo is expected to produce phones using its ‘Vibe’ brand as well.

Google bought Motorola Mobility in 2012 and sold it to Lenovo in 2014.

Mark Bridge writes:

Patents were a very popular topic of conversation last week. Google sold its Motorola Mobility smartphone business to Lenovo but hung on to most of the patents. Does this mean the patents were the most valuable part of the business? Well, when you look at the difference between the original purchase price and the sale price, it seems a reasonable conclusion.

ExclusiveA grumpy not-so-old man looks at his mobile phone bill

Mark Bridge writes:

Sometimes I worry that I’m turning into a grumpy old man. That I’ll follow the path of Rick Wakeman and become better known for my views on body piercing than for playing ‘The Six Wives of Henry VIII’ on eleven keyboards simultaneously.
