Why did Japan ban Google’s Pixel 7 phones? Could more models follow?

Google’s Pixel 7 and 7 Pro have been banned in Japan after a court ruled they infringed on patented 4G technology owned by Korea’s Pantech. The decision, spurred by Google’s ‘insincere’ conduct in court, could soon extend to Pixel 8 and 9 models — threatening Google’s rise in one of its strongest international markets
