I suspect that Google either licensed them to HTC or that they retained a Google license that also gave Google some pretty broad rights.
Patents are being moved around at quite bewildering speed.
Based on a newspaper article I read last week, none of the 9 patents transferred to HTC were actually developed by Google, and were all bought in the last year.
