$360M Patent Suit Over iPhone Voicemail

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday December 4, 2007 @07:54AM from the reading-from-a-list dept.

Stony Stevenson writes "Klausner Technologies said on Monday the company had filed a $360 million suit against Apple and AT&T over voicemail patents that Klausner claims the Apple iPhone infringes. New York-based Klausner said the lawsuit also names Comcast, Cablevision, and eBay's Skype as infringing its patent for 'visual voicemail.' The plaintiff seeks an additional $300 million from the three." Klausner has won on two previous occasions with this patent. The new suit was filed in the Eastern District of Texas, of course.

Sorry, but there is NO SUCH THING as "visual" voice-mail. The words "visual" and "voice" are unrelated. i would throw this patent out on the basis that the patent lawyers dont understand the english language.
