Artificial intelligence company Cerence Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Sony Group Corp in Texas federal court.
The complaint, filed October 1, 2026, alleges Sony's PlayStation 5 console and some headphones utilize Cerence's patented voice-control and user interface technology without authorization.
The lawsuit cites five specific U.S. patents related to voice commands and device operations. Cerence seeks damages and other remedies for the alleged intellectual property infringement.
The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a frequent venue for patent litigation, hears the case.
