Klausner sues Apple over iPhone’s Visual Voicemail
Klausner Technologies Inc. filled a $360-million suit against Apple and AT&T over a voicemail patent this Monday.
Klausner said that the iPhone technology infringes Klausner’s visual voicemail patent. Same patent was infringed in 2006, when Klausner filed a lawsuit against VoIP provider Vonage, with both sides agreeing to settle the case in October 2007. Vonage had to buy a license from Klausner for voicemail technology in question.
It is interesting to note that Cablevision’s Optimum Voicemail, Comcast’s Digital Voice Voicemail and eBay’s Skype Voicemail also violate Klausners patent by allowing users to listen to their messages in the order of their choice via message inbox display.
Apple’s representatives did not comment on this issue as of yet.
There are other ongoing disputes which Apple hasn’t solved yet, so their laywers are sure to have a busy and well paid time.
