On September 8, 2025, Krisp Technologies, Inc. filed a motion to dismiss key claims in the lawsuit brought by Sanas.AI Inc. (\u201cSanas\u201d), including claims of trade secret misappropriation and co-inventorship. Krisp also submitted a formal response denying Sanas\u2019 claims and filed a countersuit alleging patent infringement and unfair competition by Sanas.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Krisp asserts that Sanas\u2019 claims are entirely without merit. The company did not misappropriate any trade secrets or infringe on Sanas\u2019 intellectual property. Krisp\u2019s Accent Conversion technology, developed independently over several years, powers real-time communications for over a thousand companies worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The engagement between Krisp and Sanas in 2021\u20132022 was brief and unproductive. Sanas never shared its technology or provided confidential information. After nearly a year of stalled discussions, Krisp ended the talks, citing limited technical performance and visibility and a business misalignment that posed risks to customer relationships. Krisp went on to develop its own Accent Conversion solution, which has since gained broad market adoption.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to Krisp\u2019s countersuit, after the discussions ended, Sanas reproduced Krisp\u2019s patented noise cancellation technology and began advertising that it was \u201cfree\u201d in an attempt to attract Krisp\u2019s customers and promote its own accent translation product. Krisp alleges these actions constitute patent infringement and unfair business practices.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cKrisp is a leading innovator in real-time Voice AI, with a proven track record in deploying patented noise cancellation and accent conversion technologies trusted by over a thousand companies worldwide,\u201d said Davit Baghdasaryan, Co-Founder and CEO of Krisp.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSanas\u2019 claims are without merit and appear to be an attempt to slow down a stronger competitor through litigation. Krisp\u2019s Accent Conversion technology was developed entirely in-house following years of research and development, and Krisp is confident in the strength of its independently-developed technology.\u00a0 We will defend the hard work and innovation of our team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
