We saw the company Sonos filing two different lawsuits against the Tech Giant over the wireless speaker technology. The company is seen alleging that Google was seen infringing over the patent issue for syncing a group over speakers over the local network over the ideas, which the company has led before Google that was followed up with several products including Home Mini and Home. This is not the first time when we have seen the company Sonos filing a lawsuit over the patent issue. But this time the issue is not the patent but the case of monopoly and modern computing along with there seems to be a huge amount of companies that tend to remain locked down over the ecosystems and thus can consume their mutual competition.

Nevertheless, this is certainly not the first time when big companies are seen copying the smaller ones. There are many startup groups like Sonos who are known to have innovative ideas and we see a huge competition from giants coming out similar sort of products at much affordable cost. At times, these methods are illegal as these are the designs that directly infringe over the patent issues. This has been the issue of the big companies to maintain their monopoly in the market and thus violate the trust. At times, the companies are seen ruling out the luck with the help of fashion designers by getting rid of the same on a regular basis.

However, as per the latest interview of the Sonos’ executive to the leading newspaper, the last straw was not meant for infringement. Google was seen using the Assistant voice command as one of the most ubiquitous one. At the same time, the company is seen offering a software development kit for free, it is restricted to the non-commercial use. This gives the company loads of power over the hardware makers and the Tech giant was seen retaliating against the startup – Sonos. However, with the latest anecdotes, the Google is seen putting some stringent terms with the help of using Assistant for instance after receiving the companies regarding the patents.

Google is known to have additional financial stake is primarily seen in all the levels of computing systems including the smart speakers. It allows the hardware to be at the home of people like what we have seen in the case of Sonos. However, at the same time we seen the voice assistant coming along with the functionally seen over the operating system for the speakers, which Sonos failed in getting with the recent acquisition. It runs several services, which offer key contents like music. It has the software that is put there to mine the voice data for valuable insights regarding our users. When Google was seen finding out the gap in the ecosystem, it is usually seen acquiring the company, which fills it including Android, Fitbit and Nest. Having said that, it simply means that Sonos is only going against the tech giants with additional amount of resources, which it has played in the field that remain operated by its biggest competitors, which can put an impact to gain some useful features.
