Google ordered to pay $338 mn. in patent case, plans to appeal

Google ordered to pay $338 mn. in patent case, plans to appeal

Google has been ordered to pay $338.7 million in damages by a US federal jury in Waco, Texas, for violating a software developer’s patent rights related to remote-streaming technology.

The jury found that Google’s Chromecast and other devices infringed on patents owned by Touchstream Technologies, which enable streaming videos from one screen to another.

Google’s spokesperson, Jose Castaneda, stated that the company intends to appeal the verdict, emphasizing that they have always developed technology independently and competed based on the merits of their ideas, Reuters reported.

Touchstream’s attorney, Ryan Dykal, expressed satisfaction with the jury’s decision.

Touchstream, also known as Shodogg, filed a lawsuit in 2021, claiming that its founder, David Strober, invented the technology in 2010 to facilitate video streaming from small devices like smartphones to larger ones, such as televisions.

According to Touchstream’s complaint, Google had discussions about their technology in December 2011 but later indicated disinterest.

Google denied the allegations, contending that they did not infringe on Touchstream’s rights and asserting that the patents in question are invalid.

Touchstream has also filed similar complaints against cable providers Comcast, Charter, and Altice in Texas earlier this year, and those cases are still pending.
