Cerence, which builds automotive cognitive assistance solutions, filed a patent-infringement lawsuit against Samsung Electronics Co. and Samsung Electronics America.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, covers certain Cerence technologies including voice recognition, handwriting recognition and wake-up words, the company said.
