Klausner Technologies Inc. said Monday it filed a $460 million patent infringement suit against Apple Inc. over the company's iPhone Visual Voicemail feature.
New York-based Klausner claims the iPhone infringes its intellectual property rights "by allowing users to selectively retrieve voice messages via the iPhone's inbox display."
The company said founder Judah Klausner is "the inventor of the PDA and electronic organizer," and that Cupertino-based Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) defunct digital organizer Newton was covered under a patent it received more than 20 year ago.
The Newton was discontinued in 1998 after five years.
Klausner, which said the suit also involves San Jose-based eBay Inc.'s Skype (NASDAQ:EBAY), said
