Google’s Pixel 7 series has been banned from sale in Japan after a court ruled it infringed on Pantech’s LTE patent. While the Pixel 7 is outdated, Pantech has also filed lawsuits against the Pixel 8 and 9, which could significantly impact Google’s strong position in Japan. The court criticized Google’s uncooperative attitude, and Pantech – now a patent monetization firm – has a track record of targeting major tech companies.
