Google plans to defend itself in a multibillion-dollar lawsuit alleging patent infringement by the search giant.
Google is scheduled to go on trial Tuesday in federal court in Boston over claims that the processors used in some of its artificial intelligence technologies infringe a computer scientist's patents.
Massachusetts-based Singular Computing claims founder Joseph Bates' technology was copied by Google to enable the tech giant to support AI features such as Google Search, Gmail and Google Translate. Reuters reported that. Cingular is seeking up to $7 billion in monetary damages, according to court filings. If passed, the bill could double the largest patent infringement award in U.S. history.

Singular filed a complaint in 2019 in which it said Bates shared his innovations with Google from 2010 to 2014. The company claims that Google's Tensor Processing Units copy his technology and infringe on two patents. Google's circuitry uses an improved architecture developed by Bates, which increases processing power, according to the complaint.
The search engine giant told a court in December that the lawsuit is invalid because its processors operate differently than Singular's patented technology. Google introduced the processing equipment in question in 2016 to power AI with functions such as voice recognition, content generation, and ad recommendations. Singular says versions 2 and 3 of the unit, introduced between 2017 and 2018, infringe on its patent rights.
