Google fined, ordered to pay $1.51 million over patent infringement


New delhi date. 22 June 2023, Wednesday

The jury ordered Google to pay $15.1 million. The fine is for violating two patent rules related to audio software that Google will have to pay.

In one case, Personal Audio argued that Google's music app Google Play Music contained playlist downloading, navigation and editing features that infringed its patent rights.

The jury also said that Google willfully infringed the patent. In such a situation, this amount can increase three times.

Google, on the other hand, said on Wednesday that it is disappointed with the decision and plans to appeal. The tech giant said in this regard that this decision concerns the discontinued product and will not affect consumers.

Google will pay a fine to this firm

According to a Reuters report, the fine will be paid to Stradling Personal Audio's law firm Yoka Carlson & Routh. A spokesperson of the company said that it is happy with this decision. Beaumont, Texas-based Personal Audio requested $33.1 million in damages, according to a lawsuit filed in May. He first sued Google in 2015 over the patent, which was later transferred from Texas to Delaware.

San Francisco Jury Verdict

The Delaware ruling comes less than a month after a San Francisco jury ordered Google to pay Sonos $32.5 million for patent infringement amid an intellectual property dispute between the companies over smart-speaker technology.
