The Federal Circuit affirmed an infringement finding against Google, LLC on January 14, 2026, establishing that Google's distributed software architecture infringed US Patent 7069560, specifically its architectural breadth covering modern AI and cloud implementations.
A jury awarded IPA Technologies $242 million in damages on May 10, 2024, finding that Microsoft's Cortana infringed three claims of US Patent 7069560. The parties reached a confidential settlement on June 18, 2024.
IPA asserted the Halverson patents, including 6757718, against Amazon and Amazon Digital Services in D. Del. On January 18, 2019, the court dismissed the '718, '021, and '061 claims under §101/Alice, while denying dismissal as to the Cheyer patents. The case proceeded on the Cheyer patents and final judgment of non-infringement was entered for Amazon on October 28, 2021; the appeal did not include '718.
IPA sued Microsoft in D. Del., originally asserting the Halverson patents including 6757718; a Second Amended Complaint added the Cheyer patents '115, '560, and '128, accusing Microsoft's Cortana. On January 18, 2019, the '718, '021, and '061 claims were dismissed under §101/Alice. The case continued on the surviving Cheyer patents and later involved summary-judgment/Daubert and Federal Circuit activity.
