Apple has a whole system for patent licenses that they definitely use for third party sales in their stores, and ostensibly is involved in any Apple hardware and software protocols in jurisdictions with tight patent controls. Part of the idea of the lightning connector is keeping that sweet patent royalty money rolling in after switching from the (also patented, and also a golden goose) old 30pin connector. The patents on AirPlay are rolled up into the same program. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a preexisting cross licensing agreement with Sonos. |
