Google is defending itself in an $800 million class action lawsuit brought by Android users alleging misappropriation of cellphone data. The case is notable as class actions rarely proceed to trial. Separately, Google has successfully convinced a Manhattan federal court to dismiss parts of a lawsuit filed by a group of top educational publishers. The publishers had accused Google of unlawfully promoting pirated electronic versions of their textbooks. However, US District Judge Jennifer Rochon ruled that the publishers failed to provide sufficient evidence to support claims of vicarious copyright infringement or violations of New York state law. As a result, the lawsuit is continuing with fewer claims after the dismissal of secondary copyright infringement allegations.
