$360M Patent Suit Over iPhone Voicemail

Posted by kdawson on 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.

    What is with any of my signatures that always seem to be so politically incorrect here in /.? I guess if my sig was "M$ products are an abbomination and teh suck" everyone here would get an orgasm.

    But no, I actually dislike the Abble way very much (from their dumbed down telettuby user interface to their market practices). I have the right to say what i think like anybody else, even if it is politically incorrect...

    It's time to realise that Abble's products are the biggest abomination these days. Just say NO to the dumb iAbble way!!
