Google: This is what Google has to say on $15 million court fine over audio patents – Times of India
Personal Audio had argued that Google’s music app Google Play Music featured playlist downloading, navigation and editing features that violated its patent rights.
Google on the verdict
Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda said that the company was disappointed with the verdict and plans to appeal. He said the verdict concerns a “discontinued product” and would not affect customers.
Texas-based Personal Audio had requested $33.1 million in damages, according to a May court filing. The company first sued Google in 2015 over the patents in a lawsuit that was later moved from Texas to Delaware. Before filing a responsive pleading, Google filed for a stay. The stay was granted, and remained in place until it was lifted on January 12, 2017.
The Delaware verdict came less than a month after a San Francisco jury ordered Google to pay Sonos $32.5 million for patent infringement amid a sprawling intellectual property dispute between the companies over smart-speaker technology.
