A federal jury in Waco, Texas, has ordered Google to pay $338.7M in damages over the infringement of patents related to remote-streaming technology. In a recent court ruling, Google was found guilty of infringing on a software developer's patent rights. The patents belong to Touchstream Technologies, also known as Shodogg, and are specifically related to the ability to stream videos from one screen to another. - Touchstream filed the lawsuit in 2021, alleging that Google copied its innovations after initial discussions.
- Specifically, Touchstream accused Google's Chromecast of infringing on three patents.
- It also claimed that Google's Home and Nest smart speakers, as well as third-party devices with Chromecast capabilities, violated its patents
- Google plans to appeal the verdict, maintaining that its technology has always been independently developed and not based on any infringed ideas.
