Motorola actually also asserting one of these in European equivalent of this patent against Apple with a decision being made on Friday 3rd February, 2012.
Yes, Google bought Motorola to protect itself from patent war.
...Which is why Google is now attempting to shut down a competitors product lines using patents.
Wait, what?
I stand by my post. This is straight up bullshit, just like the rest of the industry. Google is no better than Apple or Microsoft or anyone else. Do no evil has become Do the status quo.
They'll probably win the patent battle in Europe on the 3rd Feb where one of the patents is being disputed, and since they've won previously against older Apple products its not 100% in favour of Apple.

But this is probably giving Google too much credit.
