The lawsuit is based on the sale in the US of NEC enterprise voicemail products such as NEC UC for Enterprise Desktop Client, NEC UC for Enterprise Web Client, NEC Univerge Sphericall Hosted Solution, NEC Univerge InMail Solution, Univerge IMAP4 / SMTP Voicemail to Email, NEC UC for Enterprise Desktop Client integrations with MS Outlook, NEC IntraMail Pro Email Integration, NEC Sphericall for IBM Lotus Foundations and NEC Univerge UM Integration, all of which allow users to selectively retrieve enterprise voicemail and which infringe Klausner Technologies' Visual Voicemail Patents. Klausner Technologies currently has 33 Visual Voicemail patent licensees under its US, European, and Asian patents, including major US and European mobile operators, international cell phone manufacturers, cable/VOIP providers as well as providers of Visual Voicemail products and services for the enterprise market. Avaya Inc. has recently signed a patent license under the Klausner Technologies' Visual Voicemail patents for its own enterprise voicemail products. "33 companies worldwide have now signed patent license agreements with us under our Visual Voicemail patents. As the inventor of these patents and on behalf of our company, I just can't allow unlicensed companies to use our IP," said Judah Klausner, Klausner Technologies' President. The suit has been filed in federal court in the Eastern District of Texas by the California law firm of Dovel & Luner. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
