Klausner Technologies, Inc. Sues AOL for Patent Infringement; Damages and Royalties on AOL Voicemail, Call Alert and VOIP Estimated at $200 Million

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 15, 2005--Klausner Technologies, Inc., founded by Judah Klausner, the inventor of the PDA and standard electronic organizer (U.S. Patent 4,117,542), announced today that it has filed suit against Time Warner subsidiary AOL for patent infringement, with patent damages and royalties estimated at $200 million.

The lawsuit asserts that AOL's voice services platform, which include AOL Voicemail, AOL Call Alert, AOL by Phone and AOL VOIP Internet Phone Service infringe Klausner Technologies U.S. Patent. 5,572,576.

Klausner Technologies, Inc. owns over 20 patents worldwide covering voice services which allow for remote retrieval of selected voice messages via the Internet or wireless networks from a visual display.

AOL is charged with violating Klausner's intellectual property rights by offering services in which subscribers receive visual notification of new voice messages, including caller identifying information, and can selectively retrieve voice messages using their displays.

The suit has been filed by the California law firm of Dovel & Luner in a federal court in Virginia, AOL's home base. "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," said Greg Dovel of Dovel & Luner, counsel for Klausner Technologies.
