UK Law Firm Files Lawsuit Against Google, DeepMind

British law firm Mishcon de Reya filed a lawsuit against Alphabet Inc GOOG GOOGL Google, and sister firm DeepMind for unfairly obtaining and processing 1.6 million patients health records without U.K.'s consent.
DeepMind and the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust gave DeepMind access to pseudonymized patient data under a 2015 deal.
Mishcon filed the case on behalf of Andrew Prismall and the others whose medical records DeepMind obtained to develop a patient monitoring app called Streams, CNBC reports.
Google acquired London artificial intelligence lab DeepMind in 2014.
In 2017, the U.K.'s Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) ruled the data-sharing agreement between DeepMind and the NHS as non-compliant with data protection law.
Law firm Linklaters' data-sharing agreement audit concluded Royal Free London's use of Streams as lawful and compliant with data protection laws.
Price Action: GOOG shares traded higher by 0.93% at $2,690 on the last check Friday.
