Shares of Sonos Inc. are trading higher in Friday's after-hours market, following a ruling by a U.S. trade judge which said some Pixel smartphones and Nest audio speakers infringe on the company's technology.

As reported by The Wall Street Journal, Judge Charles Bullock of the U.S. International Trade Commission found Google infringed on five patents. A full ruling is expected in coming days, the Wall Street Journal said.

At 5:07 p.m. ET, Sonos shares were trading 6.87% higher, at $40.76 as share. Volume at the time topped 1.1 million shares.

The stock finished the day's regular-trading session with a 2.03% gain, closing at $38.14 a share.
