These Pixels are banned in one of Google’s biggest markets, and more could follow

- The Google Pixel 7 series has received a sales ban in Japan after Google lost a court battle.
- A Japanese court ruled that Google infringed on standard-essential patents by Pantech.
- Pantech has also requested a sales injunction against the Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 smartphone families.
The Google Pixel line is among the most popular phone brands in Japan, being ranked in the top three for 2024. However, trouble is brewing as a series of Google phones has just been banned in the market.
ET News and Mlex report that Pantech has successfully won a court battle in Japan over Google’s patent infringement. This legal victory means that the Pixel 7 series can no longer be sold in the market.
