Google faces $7 billion lawsuit for patent infringement

Google is facing a patent infringement lawsuit from computer scientists and compensation 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 had introduced its tensor processor to train AI for speech recognition, content generation, ad recommendations, etc. But Singular claimed that Tensor had copied and infringed two of Bates' patents.

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

Google's lawyers, for their part, have argued that the company's chip designers never spoke to Bates. Google has also maintained that it designed the chip independently.

"Google's chips are fundamentally different from what is described in Singular's patent," Google's lawyer said.

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