Apple and ATT Sued for Patent Infringement
Dec 3, 2007
Visual voicemail, which lets you see who's left a message before you listen to it, is one of the iPhone's most touted features. And, according to a ZDNet report, it's now the subject of a patent infringement suit.
Apple and AT&T are both being sued by a company named Klausner Technologies. Founded by Judah Klausner ("the inventor of the PDA and electronic organizer"), the company filed a lawsuit in federal court in Texas, claiming that the iPhone's visual voicemail technology violates two of its patents. It's seeking damages and future royalties estimated at $360 million.
