Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 2, 2016 and for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of comprehensive income, statement of stockholders' equity, and statements of cash flows of Motorola Solutions, Inc. (“Motorola Solutions” or the “Company”) for all periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . The results of operations for the three months ended April 2, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent Developments On February 19, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Guardian Digital Communications Limited ("GDCL"), a holding company of Airwave Solutions Limited ("Airwave"), the largest private operator of a public safety network in the world. All of the outstanding equity of GDCL was acquired for the sum of £1 , after which the Company invested into GDCL £698 million , net of cash acquired, or approximately $1.0 billion , to settle all third party debt. The Company will make a deferred cash payment of £64 million on November 15, 2018. The Company funded the investment with a $675 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and approximately $400 million of international cash on hand. The acquisition will be reported within our Services segment. It will enable the Company to geographically diversify its global Managed & Support services offerings within its Services segment, while offering a proven service delivery platform to build on for providing innovative, leading, mission-critical communications solutions and services to customers. See discussion in Note 14. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount it expects to receive for those goods and services. This ASU requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates and changes in those estimates. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date" that delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to January 1, 2018, as the Company’s annual reporting period begins after December 15, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)" which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. ASU 2014-09 allows for both retrospective and modified retrospective methods of adoption. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption it will elect and is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases," which amends existing guidance to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. The ASU is effective for the Company January 1, 2019 and interim periods within that reporting period. The ASU requires a modified retrospective method upon adoption. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, "Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting," which eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. ASU 2016-07 is effective for the Company January 1, 2017 and interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The Company has elected to adopt this accounting standard as of January 1, 2016. The impact of the prospective adoption of the provisions related to the recognition of excess tax benefits in income tax expense was a $2 million income tax benefit during the three months ended April 2, 2016 . Additionally, as a result of the adoption of this accounting standard, excess tax benefits on share-based compensation have been reported as a component of operating cash rather than within financing cash flows as previously presented, while the payment of withholding taxes on the settlement of share-based awards has been reported as a component of financing cash flows rather than within operating cash flows as previously presented. The change in presentation of withholding taxes within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows has been adopted retrospectively, thereby increasing operating cash flows and reducing financing cash flows by $9 million and $5 million for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 . The presentation of excess tax benefits on share-based compensation has been adjusted prospectively within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, increasing operating cash flow and decreasing financing cash flow by $2 million for the three months ended April 2, 2016 . In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." Under this guidance, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are required to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of such debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this guidance. We have retrospectively adopted ASU 2015-03 effective January 1, 2016. As a result, debt issuance costs which were previously capitalized in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet have been presented as a reduction to long-term debt. As of April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , $40 million and $41 million , respectively, have been presented as a component of long-term debt.

Certain assets of the Enterprise business were excluded from the transaction and retained by the Company, including the Company’s iDEN business. The historical financial results of the Enterprise business, excluding those assets and liabilities retained in the transaction, are reflected in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

During the three months ended April 4, 2015 , the Company recorded a $13 million loss from discontinued operations.

For the three months ended April 4, 2015 , the assumed exercise of 2.2 million stock options and the assumed vesting of 0.5 million RSUs were excluded because their inclusion would have been antidilutive. On August 25, 2015, the Company issued $1.0 billion of 2% Senior Convertible Notes which mature in September 2020 (the "Senior Convertible Notes"). The notes are convertible based on a conversion rate of 14.5985 per $1,000 principal amount (which is equal to an initial conversion price of $68.50 per share). See discussion in Note 4. In the event of conversion, the Company intends to settle the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash. Because of the Company’s intention to settle the par value of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash upon conversion, Motorola Solutions does not reflect any shares underlying the Senior Convertible Notes in its diluted weighted average shares outstanding until the average stock price per share for the period exceeds the conversion price. In this case, only the number of shares that would be issuable (under the treasury stock method of accounting for share dilution) will be included, which is based upon the amount by which the average stock price exceeds the conversion price of $68.50 . For the three months ended April 2, 2016 , there was no dilutive impact of the Senior Convertible Notes. Balance Sheet Information Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $1.9 billion at April 2, 2016 and $2.0 billion at December 31, 2015 .

The Company must comply with certain customary covenants, including maximum leverage ratio as defined in the 2014 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of April 2, 2016 . The Company did not borrow or issue any letters of credit under the 2014 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement during the three months ended April 2, 2016 . On August 25, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Silver Lake Partners to issue $1.0 billion of 2% Senior Convertible Notes which mature in September 2020. Interest on these notes is payable semiannually. The notes are convertible anytime on or after two years from their issuance date, except in certain limited circumstances. The notes are convertible based on a conversion rate of 14.5985 per $1,000 principal amount (which is equal to an initial conversion price of $68.50 per share). In the event of conversion, the Company intends to settle the principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes in cash. The Company has recorded a debt liability associated with the Senior Convertible Notes by determining the fair value of an equivalent debt instrument without a conversion option. Using a discount rate of 2.4% , which was determined based on a review of relevant market data, the Company has calculated the debt liability to be $992 million , indicating an $8 million discount to be amortized over the expected life of the debt instrument. The total of proceeds received in excess of the fair value of the debt liability of $8 million has been recorded within Additional paid-in capital. In connection with the completion of the acquisition of GDCL, the Company entered into a new term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”), under which the Company borrowed a Term Loan with an initial principal amount of $675 million and a maturity date of February 18, 2019. Interest on the Term Loan is variable and indexed to LIBOR. The interest expense on the Term Loan is payable semi-annually in May and November. No additional borrowings are permitted under the Term Loan Agreement and amounts borrowed and repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed. The Company's borrowing capacity under the 2014 Motorola Solutions Credit Agreement may be partially limited during the second quarter of 2016 due to the additional indebtedness incurred in connection with the Term Loan. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company retrospectively adopted ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." Under this guidance, we have revised the presentation of debt issuance costs which were previously capitalized in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet to be presented as a reduction to long-term debt. As of April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , $40 million and $41 million , respectively, have been reclassified to be presented as a component of long-term debt.

Risk Management	Risk Management Foreign Currency Risk As of April 2, 2016 , the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling $708 million , compared to $494 million outstanding at December 31, 2015 . The Company does not believe these financial instruments should subject it to undue risk due to foreign exchange movements because gains and losses on these contracts should generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities and transactions. The following table shows the five largest net notional amounts of the positions to buy or sell foreign currency as of April 2, 2016 , and the corresponding positions as of December 31, 2015 : Notional Amount Net Buy (Sell) by Currency April 2, December 31, Euro $ 233 $ 99 British Pound 150 62 Chinese Renminbi (95 ) (114 ) Australian Dollar (51 ) (60 ) Brazilian Real (49 ) (44 ) Interest Rate Risk One of the Company’s European subsidiaries has Euro-denominated loans. The interest on the Euro-denominated loans is variable. The Company has interest rate swap agreements in place which change the characteristics of interest rate payments from variable to maximum fixed-rate payments. The interest rate swaps are not designated as a hedge. As such, the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are included in Other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the interest rate swap was in a liability position of $1 million at both April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . Counterparty Risk The use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. However, the Company’s risk is limited to the fair value of the instruments when the derivative is in an asset position. The Company actively monitors its exposure to credit risk. As of April 2, 2016 , all of the counterparties have investment grade credit ratings. As of April 2, 2016 , the Company had $3 million of exposure to aggregate net credit risk with all counterparties. The following tables summarize the fair values and locations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets of all derivative financial instruments held by the Company as of April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 : Fair Values of Derivative Instruments Assets Liabilities April 2, 2016 Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts $ 3 Other current assets $ 5 Accrued liabilities Interest rate swap — Other current assets 1 Accrued liabilities Total derivatives $ 3 $ 6 Fair Values of Derivative Instruments Assets Liabilities December 31, 2015 Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts 6 Other current assets 2 Accrued liabilities Interest rate swap — Other current assets 1 Accrued liabilities Total derivatives 6 3 The following table summarizes the effect of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 : Three Months Ended Statements of Operations Location Loss on Derivative Instruments April 2, April 4, Interest rate swap $ — $ (1 ) Other income (expense) Foreign exchange contracts (12 ) (16 ) Other income (expense) Total derivatives $ (12 ) $ (17 ) The Company had no instruments designated as hedging instruments for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 .

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. Tax expense in interim periods is calculated at the estimated annual effective tax rate plus or minus the tax effects of items of income and expense that are discrete to the period. The estimate used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent interim periods. The following table provides details of income taxes: Three Months Ended April 2, April 4, Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes $ 22 $ 128 Income tax expense 5 40 Effective tax rate 23 % 31 % The Company recorded $5 million of net tax expense in the first quarter of 2016 resulting in an effective tax rate of 23% , compared to $40 million of net tax expense in the first quarter of 2015 resulting in an effective tax rate of 31% . The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2016 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to the recognition of excess tax benefits on share-based compensation in income tax expense as a result of the Company's adoption of ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." The rate was also positively impacted by the release of unrecognized tax benefit reserves, offset by increases in state valuation allowances and other adjustments to certain deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2015 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to the U.S. domestic production tax deduction and rate differential for foreign affiliates.

Retirement and Other Employee Benefits	Retirement and Other Employee Benefits Pension and Postretirement Health Care Benefits Plans The net periodic costs (benefits) for Pension and Postretirement Health Care Benefits Plans were as follows: U.S. Pension Benefit Plans Non U.S. Pension Benefit Plans Postretirement Health Care Benefits Plan Three Months Ended April 2, 2016 April 4, 2015 April 2, 2016 April 4, 2015 April 2, 2016 April 4, 2015 Service cost $ — $ — $ 2 $ 3 $ — $ — Interest cost 46 49 14 16 1 2 Expected return on plan assets (55 ) (54 ) (24 ) (26 ) (2 ) (2 ) Amortization of: Unrecognized net loss 9 12 3 4 1 3 Unrecognized prior service benefit — — — (2 ) (5 ) (15 ) Net periodic cost (benefit) $ — $ 7 $ (5 ) $ (5 ) $ (5 ) $ (12 ) Effective January 1, 2016, the Company changed the method used to estimate the interest and service cost components of net periodic cost for defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit plans. Historically, the interest and service cost components were estimated using a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the period. The Company has elected to use a full yield curve approach in the estimation of these components of net periodic cost by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the projected benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. The Company made this change to improve the correlation between projected benefit cash flows and the corresponding yield curve spot rates and to provide a more precise measurement of interest and service costs. This change does not affect the measurement of total benefit obligations as the change in interest and service cost is completely offset in the actuarial loss reported in the period. The Company has concluded that this change is a change in estimate and, therefore, has accounted for it prospectively beginning January 1, 2016. Based on the change in estimate, the Company experienced no reduction in service costs and a $7 million reduction in interest costs for the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to the prior approach. The overall reduction in the quarterly interest cost is comprised of $5 million related to the U.S. Pension Benefit Plans, $1 million related to the Postretirement Health Care Benefit Plans, and $1 million related to the Non U.S. Pension Benefits Plan.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company holds certain fixed income securities, equity securities and derivatives, which are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Fair value is measured using the fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies as defined in the authoritative literature. This guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to each measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about current market conditions. The fair value hierarchy and related valuation methodologies are as follows: Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations, in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques, in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. The fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities by level in the fair value hierarchy as of April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows: April 2, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Total Assets: Foreign exchange derivative contracts $ — $ 3 $ 3 Available-for-sale securities: Government, agency, and government-sponsored enterprise obligations $ — $ 52 $ 52 Corporate bonds — 7 7 Common stock 2 — 2 Liabilities: Foreign exchange derivative contracts $ — $ 5 $ 5 Interest rate swap — 1 1 December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Total Assets: Foreign exchange derivative contracts $ — $ 6 $ 6 Available-for-sale securities: Government, agency, and government-sponsored enterprise obligations — 444 444 Corporate bonds — 7 7 Common stock 6 — 6 Liabilities: Foreign exchange derivative contracts $ — $ 2 $ 2 Interest rate swap — 1 1 The Company had no Level 3 holdings as of April 2, 2016 or December 31, 2015 . At both April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company had $1.3 billion of investments in money market mutual funds (Level 2) classified as Cash and cash equivalents in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The money market funds had quoted market prices that are equivalent to par. Using quoted market prices and market interest rates, the Company determined that the fair value of long-term debt at April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $5.0 billion and $4.1 billion (Level 2), respectively. All other financial instruments are carried at cost, which is not materially different from the instruments’ fair values.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits, claims, and actions, which arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. However, an unfavorable resolution could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations in the periods in which the matters are ultimately resolved, or in the periods in which more information is obtained that changes management's opinion of the ultimate disposition. Other Indemnifications The Company is a party to a variety of agreements pursuant to which it is obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters. In indemnification cases, payment by the Company is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge the other party's claims. In some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by the Company. Some of these obligations arise as a result of divestitures of the Company's assets or businesses and require the Company to indemnify the other party against losses arising from breaches of representations and warranties and covenants and, in some cases, the settlement of pending obligations. The Company's obligations under divestiture agreements for indemnification based on breaches of representations and warranties are generally limited in terms of duration and to amounts not in excess of a percentage of the contract value. The Company had no accruals for any such obligations at April 2, 2016 . In addition, the Company may provide indemnifications for losses that result from the breach of general warranties contained in certain commercial and intellectual property agreements. Historically, the Company has not made significant payments under these agreements.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Intangible Assets and Goodwill	Intangible Assets and Goodwill Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company completed the acquisitions of two providers of public safety software-based solutions for an aggregate purchase price of $50 million , recognizing an additional $31 million of goodwill, $22 million of identifiable intangible assets, and $3 million of acquired liabilities related to these acquisitions. The $22 million of identifiable intangible assets were classified as: (i) $11 million of completed technology, (ii) $8 million of customer-related, and (iii) $3 million of other intangibles. These intangible assets will be amortized over periods ranging from five to ten years. The results of operations for these acquisitions have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations subsequent to the acquisition date. The pro forma effects of these acquisitions are not significant individually or in the aggregate. On February 19, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of GDCL, a holding company of Airwave, the largest private operator of a public safety network in the world. All of the outstanding equity of GDCL was acquired for the sum of £1 , after which the Company invested into GDCL £698 million , net of cash acquired, or approximately $1.0 billion , to settle all third party debt. The Company will make a deferred cash payment of £64 million on November 15, 2018. The acquisition of GDCL enables the Company to geographically diversify its global Managed & Support services offerings within its Services segment, while offering a proven service delivery platform to build on for providing innovative, leading, mission-critical communications solutions and services to customers. During the three months ended April 2, 2016 , the Company recorded $61 million within Net sales and $3 million within Net earnings from the operations of Airwave. The acquisition of GDCL has been accounted for at fair value as of the acquisition date, based on the fair value of the total consideration transferred which has been attributed to all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and measured at fair value. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition has not yet been finalized as of April 2, 2016 . As a result, the Company recorded preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation. The final allocation may include: (i) changes in fair values of property, plant and equipment, (ii) changes in allocations to intangible assets such as trade names, customer relationships, and goodwill, and (iii) other changes to assets and liabilities. The total consideration for the acquisition of GDCL was approximately $1.1 billion , consisting of cash payments of $1.0 billion , net of cash acquired, and deferred consideration valued at fair value based on its net present value on the date of the acquisition of $82 million . The net present value has been calculated using a discount rate of 4.2% , which is reflective of the credit standing of the combined entity. The following table summarizes preliminary fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the February 19, 2016 acquisition date: Cash $ 86 Accounts receivable, net 55 Other current assets 36 Property, plant and equipment, net 481 Deferred income taxes 79 Intangible assets 631 Accounts payable (18 ) Accrued liabilities (184 ) Other liabilities (254 ) Goodwill 170 Total consideration $ 1,082 Net present value of deferred consideration payment to former owners (82 ) Net cash consideration at purchase $ 1,000 Acquired intangible assets consist of $602 million of customer relationships and $29 million of trade names. All intangibles have a useful life of 7 years, over which amortization expense will be recognized on a straight line basis. The fair values of trade names and customer relationships were estimated using the income approach. Customer relationships were valued under the excess earnings method which assumes that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable specifically to the intangible asset. Trade names were valued under the relief from royalty method, which assumes value to the extent that the acquired company is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from the other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Pro Forma Financial Information The following table presents the unaudited pro forma combined results of operations of the Company and GDCL for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 as if the acquisition of GDCL had occurred on January 1, 2016 and January 1, 2015, respectively, (in millions, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended April 2, 2016 April 4, 2015 Revenues $ 1,264 $ 1,364 Earnings from continuing operations 41 100 Basic earnings per share 0.24 0.46 Diluted earnings per share 0.23 0.46 The pro forma results are based on estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable. They are not necessarily indicative of its consolidated results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had we been a combined company during the periods presented. The pro forma results include adjustments primarily related to amortization of acquired intangible assets, interest expense, and transaction costs expensed during the period. Intangible Assets Amortized intangible assets were comprised of the following: April 2, 2016 December 31, 2015 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Completed technology $ 60 $ 33 $ 60 $ 32 Patents 8 5 8 5 Customer-related 629 21 23 10 Other intangibles 46 15 20 15 $ 743 $ 74 $ 111 $ 62 Amortization expense on intangible assets was $13 million for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and $2 million for the three months ended April 4, 2015 . The increase in amortization expense is due to the acquisition of GDCL. As of April 2, 2016 , annual amortization expense is estimated to be $87 million in 2016 , $98 million in 2017 and 2018 , $97 million in 2019 , and $94 million in 2020 and 2021 . Amortized intangible assets, excluding goodwill, were comprised of the following by segment: April 2, 2016 December 31, 2015 Gross Accumulated Gross Accumulated Products $ 86 $ 59 $ 89 $ 60 Services 657 15 22 2 $ 743 $ 74 $ 111 $ 62 Goodwill The following table displays a rollforward of the carrying amount of goodwill by segment from January 1, 2016 to April 2, 2016 : Products Services Total Balance as of January 1, 2016 Aggregate goodwill $ 270 $ 150 $ 420 Accumulated impairment losses — — — Goodwill, net of impairment losses $ 270 $ 150 $ 420 Goodwill acquired — 170 170 Balance as of April 2, 2016 Aggregate goodwill $ 270 $ 320 $ 590 Accumulated impairment losses — — — Goodwill, net of impairment losses $ 270 $ 320 $ 590

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount it expects to receive for those goods and services. This ASU requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and estimates and changes in those estimates. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date" that delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to January 1, 2018, as the Company’s annual reporting period begins after December 15, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)" which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. ASU 2014-09 allows for both retrospective and modified retrospective methods of adoption. The Company is in the process of determining the method of adoption it will elect and is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases," which amends existing guidance to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. The ASU is effective for the Company January 1, 2019 and interim periods within that reporting period. The ASU requires a modified retrospective method upon adoption. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, "Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting," which eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. ASU 2016-07 is effective for the Company January 1, 2017 and interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The Company has elected to adopt this accounting standard as of January 1, 2016. The impact of the prospective adoption of the provisions related to the recognition of excess tax benefits in income tax expense was a $2 million income tax benefit during the three months ended April 2, 2016 . Additionally, as a result of the adoption of this accounting standard, excess tax benefits on share-based compensation have been reported as a component of operating cash rather than within financing cash flows as previously presented, while the payment of withholding taxes on the settlement of share-based awards has been reported as a component of financing cash flows rather than within operating cash flows as previously presented. The change in presentation of withholding taxes within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows has been adopted retrospectively, thereby increasing operating cash flows and reducing financing cash flows by $9 million and $5 million for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 . The presentation of excess tax benefits on share-based compensation has been adjusted prospectively within the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, increasing operating cash flow and decreasing financing cash flow by $2 million for the three months ended April 2, 2016 . In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." Under this guidance, debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are required to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of such debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this guidance. We have retrospectively adopted ASU 2015-03 effective January 1, 2016. As a result, debt issuance costs which were previously capitalized in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet have been presented as a reduction to long-term debt. As of April 2, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , $40 million and $41 million , respectively, have been presented as a component of long-term debt.
