Verint and Cognyte
December 14, 2020
This is a minor point. Verint has incorporated in Israel an entity named Cognyte. The trademark was filed in August 2020. Cognyte, according to this document, is:
Computer and software consulting services provided to governmental entities and enterprise organizations for use in the fields of cyber security, network intelligence, web and social intelligence, situational intelligence, video security, unifying and analyzing intelligence data, surveillance of computer, telecommunication and digital networks; Computer and software consulting services to help governments, critical infrastructure and enterprise organizations to neutralize and prevent terror, crime and cyber threats; Cybersecurity services in the nature of protecting data and information from unauthorized access, and restricting access to computer systems; Data security consultancy; Design and development of electronic data security systems; Computer security threat analysis for protecting data.
Some may confuse Verint’s Cognyte with this Cognyte:
Cognyte is a marketplace helping researchers connect with academic editors across the globe – especially between Western and non-Western countries. Our aspiration is to broadly elevate scientific communication in the academic community to achieve greater impact in society.
Some lawyers maybe. If an IPO for the Verint Cognyte becomes a reality and a success, the academic Cognyte may want to change its name unless these are the same entities in Melville, NY.
