Shorts International, which runs a television channel devoted to short films, sued the tech giant last year, accusing Google of infringing its trademark over the word “shorts”.
Google-owned YouTube had launched Shorts, featuring minute-long videos, in late 2020 as it struggled to compete with TikTok.
Google’s lawyer Lindsay Lane argued in court documents at a trial earlier this month that it was “abundantly clear” that the Shorts platform came from YouTube, not Shorts International.
Judge Michael Tappin said in a written ruling that none of Google’s uses of the word “shorts” would lead to any likelihood of confusion as to the origin of the platform.
