Google Antitrust Expands Into Patent Infringement for AI-Driven Messaging

AUSTIN, Texas - Aug. 27, 2024 - PRLog -- David L Johnston, the visionary founder of BizTexter and holder of a comprehensive portfolio of 42 patents in AI-driven mobile messaging technologies, has filed a significant patent infringement lawsuit against Google, Inc. The lawsuit alleges that Google's suite of messaging platforms—including Google Messages, Google Chat, and the Gemini AI model—have used monopoly power to unlawfully incorporate patented technologies developed by Johnston, infringing on his groundbreaking inventions in mobile communication and chatbot functionalities.

Johnston's patents, granted between 2012 and 2018, cover a wide array of innovative technologies for mobile messaging systems and chatbots with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities. These patents detail advanced functionalities such as automated messaging, AI-driven response generation, secure encryption methods, and user interaction techniques—all designed to enhance mobile communication.

According to the lawsuit, Google's messaging platforms employ numerous features that potentially infringe upon Johnston's patented technologies. These features include but are not limited to:

• Smart Reply and AI Suggestions: Utilizing AI to predict and suggest responses based on the content of incoming messages.
• Group Messaging and Contextual Responses: Automatically categorizing users and sending messages based on predefined rules.
• Message Scheduling and Follow-Ups: Techniques for scheduling messages and sending automated follow-ups triggered by specific conditions.
• End-to-End Encryption: Implementing secure messaging methods that manage key exchanges and message transmission.
• Advanced User Interaction: Features like message starring, swipe actions, and emoji reactions.

"Google has built its messaging platforms with features that align remarkably with the patented technologies I developed," stated David Johnston. "These patents represent years of innovation and hard work. It is crucial that the rights of inventors are respected and upheld, particularly in an era where AI and machine learning are rapidly transforming the way we communicate both taking jobs and stifling innovation."

The lawsuit further alleges that Google's actions have unfairly restricted Johnston's ability to monetize his patented innovations and compete fairly in the market. By incorporating Johnston's patented technologies into their products without authorization, Google has allegedly infringed upon intellectual property rights and undermined Johnston's competitive advantage.

The legal action seeks to halt further infringement by Google, demand compensation for damages caused by the unauthorized use of Johnston's patented technologies, and ensure that inventors' rights are protected in the ever-evolving landscape of AI-driven technologies.

This case is set to be a landmark in the ongoing debate over intellectual property rights and the ethical use of patented technologies in AI and machine learning. As the tech world watches closely, this lawsuit could have far-reaching implications for the future of innovation, competition, and digital communication.
