I mean the first line in the Reuters article is:

"Oct 9 (Reuters) - A California federal judge has thrown out a $32.5 million verdict for wireless-audio company Sonos (SONO.O) against rival Google (GOOGL.O) after finding that the Sonos patents at the heart of the case were unenforceable."

That sounds like the case was thrown out.

I put the Reuters article in to show that yes a court case was thrown out. But that's only one case. There have been several in different jurisdictions.

"This marked the “fifth jurisdiction (including Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, and France) in which Google has sued Sonos and lost,” Sonos’ Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, Eddie Lazarus, was quoted by Reuters as saying."
