Google has been ordered to pay Sonos $32.5 million for infringing on the company’s smart speaker patent.
A jury verdict issued in a San Francisco courtroom on Friday found that Google’s smart speakers and media players infringed on one of two Sonos patents.
The verdict re-affirms that Google is a serial infringer of our patent portfolio, as the International Trade Commission has already ruled against us,” Sonos says.
Of the six patents Sonos originally asserted, only one was found to be infringed, and the rest were dismissed as invalid or not infringed.
Last August, Google sued Sonos over allegations that the audio company infringed upon Google SmartSpeakers and voice control technology.
According to a statement from Sonos, the verdict confirms that Googles patents infringe on their patents.
