A Bit of History
Founded in 2001, Sony Ericsson initially thrived with products like the Walkman and Cyber-shot phones, with Sony matching its expertise in consumer electronics with Ericsson’s experience with phones. However, as of late the business has been lacking while trying to keep up with the smartphone race. Previously, analysts anticipated a separating of ways, arguing Sony Ericsson could become more competitive under sole Sony ownership. Earlier this month the company broke even in its third quarter financial results. This deal ends a decade-long relationship between the two companies and marks Ericsson’s exit from the mobile handset business. The deal will give Sony ownership of five key patent families held by Ericsson, enabling it to cut costs in the Sony Ericsson venture.
