Re: Google, Verizon, others sued over voice mail patent

said by TKJunkMail See Profile :

In addition to Google and Verizon, other defendants in the lawsuit filed by Klausner Technologies are: Cox Communications, LG Electronics, Comverse Technology, Embarq, PhoneFusion, RingCentral, and Grand Central, which was acquired by Google last year.

Klausner Technologies, a private company that holds several voice over IP patents, settled a lawsuit in June with Apple, which offers visual voice mail in its iPhone.

Klausner also settled with AT&T, eBay, which owns Skype, and Comcast, which agreed to a licensing deal as part of its settlement. The company remains in talks with Cablevision Systems, while Sprint Nextel signed a licensing deal and was not sued, Reuters reported.

Previously, Klausner sued and settled with AOL in 2006, and with Vonage last year. Terms of the settlements were not disclosed.
The patents must be pretty good and they must have a good case, because the big guys keep settling.

Maybe Klausner has also been reasonable in their settlement demands.

But it is unusual to see someone beat the big shots consistently in patent complaints.
I think verizon shit the bucket by using the patent as "evidence"
