The legal battle between Sonos and Google dates back to January 2020 when Sonos initially filed a lawsuit against Google, alleging that the tech giant had gained knowledge of the patent through prior collaboration between the two companies to integrate Sonos speakers with Google Play Music.
In response, Google counter-sued Sonos, claiming that Sonos had infringed its own patents related to smart speakers. Sonos later expanded its own lawsuit, and in 2022, Google sued Sonos, accusing it of infringing on seven patents related to the Google Assistant.
