It looks like Skyhook Holdings was recently acquired by Qualcomm according to their website. I wonder if this was more for their IP and patents rather than product(s).

I think it was for products too (eg Qualcomm is currently doing a heavy push of their IoT products where Skyhook is a central piece) but I'd also like to know if the legal landscape changed after the acquisition.

Especially considering Qualcomm's relationship with many device makers and the OS platforms.
