Cognex Corporation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cognex Corporation is an American corporation that manufactures commercial machine vision systems. Cognex says is one of the leading companies in its field, holding an array of patents and employing academic experts.[1]

In 2004, the company won an intellectual property victory when a judge ruled in Cognex's favor in a patent lawsuit brought against the estate of the inventor Jerome H. Lemelson, who had filed dozens of submarine patents, some of which purported to cover machine vision processes. [2]

Cognex stands for Cognition Experts.
