In a recent development, the Federal Circuit has given its verdict siding with a Texas federal court’s decision in the patent infringement case involving Amazon’s ‘Alexa’ voice assistant and voice-processing patents owned by the company Freshub. The Federal Circuit affirmed that Amazon’s voice assistant, Alexa, did not infrage voice-processing system patents held by Freshub.
Equally significant, the court also stated that Freshub did not engage in dishonest practices or use illicit methods to acquire these patents. This affirmation from the Federal Circuit clears Freshub of allegations around deviating from lawful conduct while obtaining the patents in question.
