In Brief: AT&T and Apple Settle Visual Voicemail Lawsuit

AT&T and Apple settled a lawsuit brought by Klausner Technology Inc. on Monday. The lawsuit was originally brought around by Klausner last December for violating its patents on technology that sends visual alerts to computers or mobile telephones when a user has a voice message. The company sought $360 million in damages.

Today Apple and AT&T have agreed to license its "visual voicemail" technology and settled a lawsuit against them. No companies involved revealed the financial details of the agreement.

"The patent litigation with Apple has been settled. The patents have been licensed to Apple," company founder Judah Klausner.
