Five months after Sonos sued Google, claiming the tech giant knowingly copied its patented speaker technology, Google is countersuing. As first reported by the Verge, Google claims Sonos is violating five of its patents related to digital rights management (DRM), content availability notifications, personalized network searching, echo and noise control, and mesh networking. "Sonos has made false claims about the companies' shared work and Google's technology in the lawsuits that Sonos filed against Google earlier this year," reads Google's complaint, filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of California. "While Google rarely sues other companies for patent infringement, it must assert its intellectual property rights here."
