Discontinued Operations

On October 29, 2014, we closed the sale of the Motorola Mobile business to Lenovo. We maintain ownership of the vast majority of the Motorola Mobile patent portfolio, including pre-closing patent applications and invention disclosures, which we licensed to Motorola Mobile for its continued operations. Additionally, in connection with the sale, we agreed to indemnify Lenovo for certain potential liabilities of the Motorola Mobile business, for which we recorded a liability of $130 million at the time of close.

The following table presents financial results of the Motorola Mobile business for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, which were presented as net loss from discontinued operations (in millions, unaudited):
