Inventor Judah Klausner—generally considered the “father of the PDA” for his work creating electronic organizers in the 1970s—has filed a new patent infringement lawsuit targeting Google, Verizon, LG, Citrix, Cox Communications, Embarq Corporation, and others for infringing on patents Klausner believes covers visual voicemail. And Klausner has some courtroom history to back him up: he went after Sprint and Apple with similar claims, and won agreements from them both earlier this year; Comcast has also reportedly struck a deal. Klausner also won settlements from Vonage and AOL, and, last we heard, was still pursuing similar claims against Skype and Cablevision.
