Wyoming Technology Licensing LLC has filed an Eastern District of Texas complaint against Verizon (2:24-cv-00467), alleging infringement of a single patent through the provision of smartphones, including those made by Alphabet (Google), Apple, or Samsung, that operate via an “intelligent voice assistant”. The claim chart attached to this complaint highlights the alleged infringement through the provision of the iPhone 15 Pro and its Siri voice assistant, characterizing that product as “representative for illustrating infringement of the other devices”, doing so despite the fact that a notice of settlement has been filed in the only prior case in this campaign, filed against Apple earlier this year.

Wyoming Technology Licensing LLC has voluntarily dismissed, without prejudice, its Eastern District of Texas complaint against Apple, filed in February 2024, refiling substantially the same case (1:24-cv-00347), this time in the Western District of Texas. The plaintiff again accuses Apple of infringing a single patent, generally related to analyzing an “information request” and communicating “prepared instructions” on a “consumer device display”, through the provision of natural language processing and semantic analysis tools used by the Siri voice assistant on mobile devices.

Last May, Wyoming Technology Licensing LLC sued Clinc in the Eastern District of Michigan over the provision of Clinc AI, a conversational artificial intelligence system used for customer chats. A dismissal without prejudice ended that case in late August. Now, in an Eastern District of Texas complaint, Wyoming Technology accuses Apple (2:24-cv-00128) of infringing a related patent, generally related to analyzing an “information request” and communicating “prepared instructions” on a “consumer device display”, through the provision of natural language processing and semantic analysis tools used by the Siri voice assistant on mobile devices.
