Purdue Research Foundation (PRF) is claiming that the software in the Android Studio and Android Lint programs infringed U.S. Patent No. 10,379,925, which was granted to PRF in 2019. Patent ‘925, titled “Systems and Methods of Detecting Power Bugs,” covers software that detects “power bugs” in smartphone apps that reduce battery length. PRF demanded in the lawsuit that Google pay royalties, enhanced damages and fees for willfully infringing the patent, for the cost of PRF’s lawyer and any other money the court deems appropriate.
