by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Klausner Technologies Inc. is suing AOL -- asking for damages in the range of $200 million -- alleging the Time Warner subsidiary's voice services platform infringes on one of Klausner's patents covering the selective retrieval of voice messages from a display via the Internet, cellular or other communication networks.
The lawsuit asserts that AOL's voice services platform, which include AOL Voicemail, AOL Call Alert, AOL by Phone and AOL VOIP Internet Phone Service infringe Klausner Technologies U.S. Patent.
Klausner Technologies, Inc. owns over 20 patents worldwide covering voice services which allow for remote retrieval of selected voice messages via the Internet or wireless networks from a visual display.
AOL is charged with violating Klausner's intellectual property rights by offering services in which subscribers receive visual notification of new voice messages, including caller identifying information, and can selectively retrieve voice messages using their displays.
The suit has been filed by the California law firm of Dovel & Luner in a federal court in Virginia, AOL's home base.
"Because of the fast-paced docket in the Eastern District of Virginia, we expect a quick resolution of the matter and the prompt issuance of an injunction that will stop AOL from using this patented technology," said Greg Dovel of Dovel & Luner, counsel for Klausner Technologies.
Klausner Technologies Inc. owns and licenses patents covering the selective retrieval of voice messages from a display via the Internet, cellular or other communication networks.
