This is what Google has to say on $15 million court fine over audio patents

Alphabet’s Google has been asked to pay patent holding company Personal Audio $15.1 million for infringing two patents related to audio software. The ruling was made by a Delaware federal jury in a verdict made public on Wednesday (June 21). The jury also said that Google infringed the patents willfully, which could lead to a judge increasing the award by up to three times the verdict amount.

Personal Audio had argued that Google’s music app Google Play Music featured playlist downloading, navigation and editing features that violated its patent rights.
