Case Summary:

IPA Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of WiLAN that licenses patents originally developed at SRI International, sued Google LLC in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that Google’s virtual assistant technologies, such as Google Assistant, infringe several patents related to speech‑based control and intelligent personal assistant architectures. After the district court entered judgment in Google’s favor in this infringement dispute, IPA Technologies appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (No. 24‑1246), leading to the oral argument heard in IPA Technologies Inc. v. Google LLC.
