The ruling was filed by SONOS in January 2020.The company claims that Google has stolen his skills by working together to work with Google music services and SONOS speakers.SONOS complained that Google had infringed five patents for the technology to listen to audio in a separate room.
Six months later, Google complained that SONOS had infringed five patents on the search function of the music library, noise canceling, and wireless connections.
ITC Chief Administrative Law Charles E.Bolluck's ruling has determined that Google violated 1930 Customs Law.However, BOLLUCK did not specifically explain what violated the law.
The struggle with SONOS has been strictly monitored by Google and state authorities on its size and competitive practices.Google has filed multiple large -scale lawsuits on antitrust laws, such as groundbreaking litigation by the US Department of Justice and litigation by the Ultra -Boosian State Union.Regulatory authorities and prosecutors are investigating everything about Google, such as Google's search and advertising businesses and the world's most dominant mobile OS "Android".
SONOS praised the ITC provisional ruling on the 13th."I'm glad that ITC has accredited the invention of SONOS patented inventions," said Eddie Lazarus, the company's highest legal officer.
Google's spokeswoman Jose Casteneda stated in a statement:"We are not using SONOS technology, competing for product quality and excellent ideas. We do not agree with this provisional ruling, and will continue to claim in the future examination process."
