href=\"https:\/\/fingfx.thomsonreuters.com\/gfx\/legaldocs\/mypmnbaakvr\/IP%20GOOGLE%20SONOS%20PATENTS%20itc.pdf\">affirmed<\/a> an August decision that\u00a0Google\u00a0audio products infringed five\u00a0Sonos\u00a0patents and banned\u00a0Google\u00a0from importing \u201cnetworked speaker devices\u201d and devices that can control them like mobile phones and laptops.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling says\u00a0Google\u00a0won\u2019t be barred from importing products that it had redesigned to avoid infringing the patents. <\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0Google\u00a0spokesperson said it does not expect the decision to affect its ability to import or sell its products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will seek further review and continue to defend ourselves against\u00a0Sonos\u2019 frivolous claims about our partnership and intellectual property,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n<p>Sonos\u2019 Chief Legal Officer Eddie Lazarus called the ruling an \u201cacross-the-board\u201d win and said\u00a0Google\u2019s products still infringe the patents despite its attempts to design around them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"
