Google faces $7 billion lawsuit for patent infringement

Google is facing a patent infringement lawsuit from computer scientists and a compensation claim of up to $7 billion.

Google is accused of infringing two of Singular's patents.

Singular Computing, a company founded by computer scientist Joseph Bates in Massachusetts (USA), has just filed a lawsuit against Google for copying technology from Bates and putting it into products such as Google Search, Google Translate, Gmail and other services.

Previously, in 2019, Singular complained, claiming that Bates had shared its computer processing improvements with Google since 2010-2014. By 2016, Google introduced its tensor processor to train AI for speech recognition, content generation, ad recommendations, etc. However, Singular claimed that Tensor copied and violated two of Bates' patents.

Singular has now sued Google and is seeking up to $7 billion in damages, double the largest patent infringement fine in US history.

For its part, Google's lawyers have argued that the company's chip designers never spoke to Bates. At the same time, Google asserts that it designed the chip independently.

“Google’s chips are fundamentally different from what is described in Singular’s patent,” Google’s lawyers said.

The trial will begin this week in Boston and is expected to last two to three weeks.
