WASHINGTON/SAN FRANCISCO - The U.S. International Trade Commission said on Thursday it was launching a patent investigation into certain audio players and controllers sold by Alphabet Inc’s Google based on a complaint by rival smart speaker maker Sonos Inc.
The ITC received a complaint from Sonos last month alleging that the import of certain audio players and controllers and their components infringe on its patents. “Sonos has made misleading statements about our history of working together. Our technology and devices were designed independently. We deny their claims vigorously, and will be defending against them,” Google spokesman Jose Castaneda said in a statement on Thursday.
But companies subject to the bans are often able to keep importing products by redesigning them to avoid using patented technology.
