Singular Computing’s multi-billion dollar patent infringement lawsuit against Google was cut short on Wednesday after the search giant agreed to settle the case for an undisclosed sum.
The settlement brings an end to the five-year legal spat between computer scientist Joseph Bates’ company and Google.
As we previously reported, between 2010 and 2014, Bates said he approached the Chocolate Factory and disclosed various patented technologies and prototypes he’d developed, under a non-disclosure agreement.
In its complaint, Singular accused Google of stealing Bates’ designs and using them to develop into its second-and-third-gen TPU accelerators without permission or license.
Internal emails, however, showed that Jeff Dean - now Google’s chief scientist - had touted Bates’ designs as being “really well suited” to the ad giant’s workloads.
Google’s chips, now in their fifth generation, are the backbone of its AI infrastructure and power a wide variety of the giant’s internal machine learning workloads.
