OAKLAND, Calif. — Google infringed on audio technology patents held by the speaker manufacturer Sonos and it is not allowed to import products that violate Sonos’s intellectual property into the United States, a trade court ruled on Thursday.

The United States International Trade Commission, a quasi-judicial body that decides trade cases and can block the import of goods that violate patents, issued its final ruling on Thursday, closing a two-year investigation into the intellectual property dispute.

The matter will now go to a presidential review. The commission determined that Google had violated the Tariff Act of 1930, which aims to prevent unfair competition through actions such as the import of products that infringe on U.S. patents, trademarks or copyrights. The commission also issued a cease-and-desist order against Google.

The final ruling follows a preliminary finding by a commission judge in August that Google had infringed on Sonos’s patented speaker technology and that it should not be allowed to import products that violate Sonos’s intellectual property. After that initial ruling, the full commission met to consider whether to accept or overturn that decision.

Sonos had asked the trade commission to block imports of Google products that the speaker company says infringes on its patents. They include Google Home smart speakers, Pixel phones and computers, and Google’s Chromecast streaming video device. Those items are made in China and shipped to the United States.

With technology conglomerates under scrutiny from regulators and politicians, smaller rivals are challenging the business practices of the industry’s biggest companies in court. Epic Games, creator of the popular Fortnite game, filed a lawsuit against Apple and Google over App Store commissions. Facebook, now renamed Meta, was sued in November by a now-defunct photo-sharing app called Phhhoto, which asserted that Facebook violated antitrust laws.

Sonos has claimed that it shared details of its technology with Google starting in 2013 when the two companies started working together. Initially, Google was not a competitor, but the company started moving into Sonos’s space — first with a small device to stream music in 2015 and then its Google Home speaker in 2016.

Sonos said Google was violating more than 100 of its patents and proposed a licensing deal to Google. The two companies were unable to reach an agreement.

Sonos also has two pending patent infringement lawsuits against Google in federal court. The first case, filed in January 2020 in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, is stayed pending the International Trade Commission decision since they involve overlapping patents. A second case before the U.S. District Court in San Francisco is proceeding, involving a different set of patents.

This is a developing story. "

After talking it Long over the weekend I expected much better trading action on Monday, when it dipped below what I paid for it on Friday, I moved my sell order down thinking after the open there would be some kind of bounce of the premarket lows, and got filled with a little over a buck in profits.

Sold too soon.

Love my SONOS equipment.

Twitter trading blogs reporting manipulation by short MM's and hedge funds premarket to keep them from getting squeezed much higher, one trader said he plans on buying calls saying the stock should be much higher.

No one can Beat Sonos speakers and App. Nothing performs better on the Market as of now

Apple announced their version of wireless speakers today and Sonos took off. Looks like Sonos has much better products and Apple’s products are not a major threat.

I don't know what's going on here but I would expect this to be an area of support.

In Ludwig’s words, “‘Things That Stuck’ is a collection of songs and sounds that found their way into my hippocampus. Sharing my passion for music with my family and friends has been one of the greatest joys of my life. When you share an emotional bond with someone, your heart and eardrums swell up and makes you listen to music in a different way. Let's become friends.”

I found a rep in CA who had a small stash of Arcs in his warehouse. (Sold Out now).

I scored mine about a week ago. Received my One SLs from Sonos and sub woofer from Best Buy. My system just went live yesterday.

At first glance it looks the the sound/room space sensor/adjuster is available with an Apple smartphone.

I have around 10 customers waiting for Sonos equipment. High demand there income can only grow from here

Correct about Covid and good news about your system. Great products no doubt.

COVID has been an issue. I have completed my sound system.

(1) Arc sound bar
(1) Sub-woofer ver 3
(2) One SL satellite speakers

While it is annoying that products are backed up it’s not a bad thing to have a backlog of orders. Once the orders get filled it should make for a strong quarter or two or three going forward. Demand for their products is extremely strong. Remember that they recently have the new products person on their board from Microsoft probably to help advise and manage this process.

This was extremely strong yesterday and the volume was very heavy in the last hour with the stock closing at the high of the day with the Nasdaq down over 100 points. Maybe news on the horizon.

Out of the stock, or

Half of the NFL season will be over by the time this ships.

I like the company.

One problem, unless everybody is cool with ordering "back-order" merchandise, consumers may get frustrated.

My SONOS ARC is still a ways away from shipping.
