Google Has Infringed Sonos Patents Rules Us Judge

Two years ago, Sonos sued Google suggesting that the Mountain View giant has stolen its multi-room speaker technology patents. Fast-forward to 2022, Sonos has won the lawsuit, which finds Google guilty of patent infringement. Hence, an import ban on Google has been ordered by US’ International Trade Commission. Here’s everything you need to know about Sonos’ victory.

It has been revealed that ITC’s judge has ruled in the favor of Sonos and suggested that Google has violated the Tariff Act of 1930. As a result, it has imposed an import ban on some of Google’s audio products in the US. Google has 60 days to comply before the ban becomes official.

Sonos suggests that the list of Google products that use its technology include the Nest Hub, Nest Mini, and Chromecast, PixelBook Go, Pixel 3/ 4, and even YouTube Music. Google is said to release some software updates to these devices to remove features that are taken from Sonos to circumvent the import ban.
