Apple and AT&T were sued today by Klausner Technologies over the iPhone's Visual Voicemail feature, which allows users to listen to their messages in the order of their choice. According to the firm, AT&T and Apple infringe two patents created well over 10 years ago.
Klausner is seeking damages estimated at $360 million from the two companies. Greg Dovel of Dovel & Luner said that Klausner has litigated this patent successfully on two prior occasions.
Klausner also filed lawsuits today against Comcast, Cablevision Systems and Skype for infringing its messaging patents and are seeking damages estimated at $300 million. The firm also sued Vonage, but they settled out of court back in October.
