Sonos Sues Denon, Alleging Wireless Speaker Patent Infringement
Denon’s newly-released Heos line of wireless speakers are remarkably similar to those from Sonos — so much so that Sonos is suing Denon for patent infringement.
Denon is hardly the first company to take a run at the wireless home hi-fi market that Sonos pioneered back in 2002 and continues to dominate today. Samsung, Bose, and LG have all brought new products to market that compete directly with Sonos. Yet none of them have created a line of products and accompanying marketing materials that so closely mirror what Sonos has created.
