Dialect, LLC has added separate suits against Meta Platforms (7:25-cv-00060) and Salesforce (7:25-cv-00061) in the Western District of Texas. The five asserted patents, each originating with Voicebox Technologies (acquired by Nuance Communications in 2018, which itself was acquired by Microsoft in 2021), are broadly directed to processing and responding to “natural language” inputs. Meta Platforms is accused of infringement through the provision of the Meta AI assistant and supporting products (i.e., platforms, smart glasses, and VR headsets); Salesforce, over the Salesforce Voice AI Agent. At issue is the support for natural language processing and voice recognition.
