On Monday, July 24, Touchstream's lawyer, Ryan Dykal, stated that Touchstream was satisfied with the results of the verdict.
Touchstream, which is based in New York and also operates under the name Shodogg, has filed a lawsuit in 2021 stating that its founder, David Strober, created technology in 2010 to "forward" videos from small devices such as smartphones to larger devices such as television.

According to the lawsuit, Google met with Touchstream to discuss this technology in December 2011, but expressed its interest two months later. Google then introduced the Chromecast media-streaming device in 2013.
Touchstream states that Google's Chromecast imitates its innovations and violates its three patents. They also stated that their patents had been violated by Google's Home and Nest smart speaker devices, as well as third-party television and speakers with Chromecast capabilities.
Google denies violating Touchstream's rights and argues that the patents are invalid.
Touchstream has also filed similar complaints against cable service providers Comcast, Charter, and Altice in Texas earlier this year. The cases are still in the process of being resolved.
