List of mergers and acquisitions by Alphabet

[13] On August 15, 2011, Google made its largest-ever acquisition to date when it announced that it would acquire Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion[14][15] subject to approval from regulators in the United States and Europe.

This purchase was made in part to help Google gain Motorola's considerable patent portfolio on mobile phones and wireless technologies, to help protect Google in its ongoing patent disputes with other companies,[16] mainly Apple and Microsoft,[17] and to allow it to continue to freely offer Android.

[21] On January 26, 2014, Google announced it had agreed to acquire DeepMind Technologies, a privately held artificial intelligence company from London.

[22] Technology news website Recode reported that the company was purchased for $400 million though it was not disclosed where the information came from.

[23][24] The purchase of DeepMind aids in Google's recent growth in the artificial intelligence and robotics community.

As a part of this deal, Google acquired a 15.7% stake in Arris Group valued at $300 million.

[348] In 2017, Google sold off its satellite business, Terra Bella, to Planet Labs for an undisclosed price and entered into a multi-year agreement to license Earth imagery from the company.
