Google accused of patent infringement
The internet giant was sued by buySAFE. The company's representatives accused Google of infringing a patent on technologies used in its Google Trusted Stores service.
Google Trusted Stores is a tool for identifying secure online stores. With Google Trusted Stores, online store owners can obtain a security certificate. To obtain this certificate, store administrators must allow Google to verify the store's security, which requires access to a range of data.
The company buySAFE owns a service of the same name and offers safe online shopping services for online stores, also allowing you to mark safe stores in a special way,
buySAFE notes that Google violated the company's patented technology by copying its functionality.
In addition, buySAFE accused Google of unfair competition, claiming that the internet giant deliberately accelerated the launch of its service.
