AKlausner Technologies has filed a $200 million patent infringement lawsuit against America Online (AOL) over voice platform technology.At issue are features that let subscribers receive visual notification of new voice messages and selectively retrieve messages from their displays.The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Virginia, revolves around one patent. In all, Klausner, founded by inventor Judah Klausner, owns and licenses more than 20 patents covering voice messages over the Internet, cellular or other communication networks.
"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," Greg Dovel, an attorney representing Klausner Technologies, said in a statement.
