The lawsuit is based on the recent introduction of Motorola's new "CLIQ" mobile phone, which uses Klausner Technologies' Visual Voicemail patented technology. Various other Motorola models with the Visual Voicemail feature are already covered under Klausner Technologies Visual Voicemail patent licenses granted to mobile operators.
Klausner Technologies currently has 24 Visual Voicemail patent licensees, including U.S. and European wireless service providers, cell phone manufacturers, and cable/VOIP providers, as well as other providers of Visual Voicemail services.
The suit has been filed in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas by the California law firm of Dovel & Luner.
Klausner Technologies owns 25 patents, covering the basic Visual Voicemail feature in which users can selectively view and listen to their voice messages via their mobile phones or computers.
