Klausner says "not so fast," sues Verizon and LG over visual voicemail

So patent holding firm Klausner Technologies figures it has this whole litigation thing down to a T at this point, having already sued a who's-who of companies having anything to do with visual voicemail in the past and ultimately coming away with a whole bunch of lucrative license agreements for its efforts (eleven, to be exact). Needless to say, any new company that tries to break into the game at this point is probably going to get treated with the same warm, fuzzy love, and Verizon and LG are experiencing that firsthand. Klausner has announced that it has filed suit against both companies in Texas federal court, presumably in response to Big Red's recent launch of the refreshed Voyager featuring visual voicemail software on board. Given the track record Klausner has, guys, you might just want to cut to the chase here and pay up.

Another shining example of what goes on in the Eastern District court of Texas, more specifically Beaumont. More specifically certain judges. Remember the 2 BILLION Toshiba had to pay? Beaumont. When are we going to clean up the legal system? You decide:

Ever read the patent of Klausner Technologies (5,572,576), they really do deserve the recognition by the law.

Weird, i thought I had read that Verizon pony'd up to this company.. guess not. Why exactly do these huge companies do this sort of thing, when if they owned a patent like this they'd likely do far worse than asking for licensing money (like refusing to license completely)
