Sonos/D&M Lawsuit Takes a Surprising & Slightly Dark Turn

February 26, 2015 by Ted Leave a Comment

BREAKING NEWS

Sonos logoEarlier this month, we reported that D&M Holdings U.S., Inc. (D&M) [and Denon Electronics] had responded to the patent infringement lawsuit filed by Sonos, Inc. (Sonos) this past October by asking the judge to dismiss or throw out the case. Now, in a surprising twist of events, D&M has followed this initial left jab with a right uppercut that may result in Sonos’ attorneys getting knocked out of the case altogether – whether the judge dismisses it or not.

February 26, 2015 by Ted Leave a Comment

Now, big changes are at play – with DeVesto out and a new Interim CEO appointed by the Tivoli board.
