Cerence Inc. has filed formal complaints against Sony Group Corporation and TCL Technology Group Corporation, alleging that the companies infringed on its patented voice technology. The complaints were submitted to the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
According to Cerence, select smart TV models from Sony and TCL incorporate voice interaction features that rely on its proprietary technology without authorization. The company is seeking a limited exclusion order from the ITC that would block the import of these products into the U.S. It is also pursuing monetary damages through its district court filings.
Court documents specifically name TCL models like the TCL50 QM5K and TCL55 F35 as examples of the allegedly infringing products. However, the complete list of affected Sony and TCL models has not been disclosed.
Jennifer Salinas, Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel at Cerence, said the company views intellectual property enforcement as a strategic priority. “We will take strong, decisive action to protect our IP rights and prevent the unauthorized use of our technology,” she said.
Cerence emphasized that its patented voice solutions are the result of sustained innovation and years of development. The company said it aims to protect not only its technologies but also its customer base and long-term investments.
Cerence has built a strong presence in the automotive sector, with its voice and AI platforms integrated into over 525 million vehicles worldwide. The company said that voice technology has growing relevance in consumer electronics, including smart TVs and home entertainment systems.
As of now, neither Sony nor TCL has issued a public statement in response to the allegations. It is common for companies to withhold comments during ongoing litigation.
