Delhi HC refers Voicemonk’s patent case against Google’s Gemini, Android to mediation

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday referred to mediation a patent infringement case filed by Voicemonk Inc against Google LLC and its group companies.

Voicemonk claims that Google's AI assistant Gemini and its operating system Android are infringing two of Voicemonk's Indian patents.

"Parties referred to mediation before a senior mediator. All efforts will be made by the parties to conclude mediation as soon as possible and not later than four weeks from today [Friday]," Justice Jyoti Singh said.


The court then posted the matter for further hearing to March 13.

Voicemonk had moved court alleging that Google had infringed its patent relating to displaying searched information in one page and learning user behaviour across applications to recommend future actions. Voicemonk also told the court that the parties were already undergoing mediation before filing the case, but Google's offer was not satisfactory, thus leading the matter to court.
