Google, which has accomplished a lot of admirable works recently, has come to the fore with its surprising and pleasing developments in both artificial intelligence and playgrounds. Unfortunately, the company is facing a penalty this time due to the patent dispute.
The name opposite is Sonos, which we know with its sound systems. The two had previously faced each other in the courtroom due to a patent dispute in 2020, and Google, which violated Sonos’ 2 patents, was fined $ 50 million as a result of this court. The current penalty is too high.
There are two issues in the case, one of which reaches a penalty.
One of them involves connecting the speakers together and giving the sound at the same time. Google’s Chromecast Audio and Google Home services violate this patent. On this first charge, the jury upheld Sonos.
The other patent covers the ability to control the speakers via a phone or tablet. But Sonos’ accusation for this patent infringement was not accepted by the jury. As a result, Google was fined $32.5 million.
Stating that Google has violated more than 200 patents so far, Sonos also stated that this penalty is not enough. He said that the company had to pay additional royalties because of other inventions he incorporated.
