We know exactly when the bad guys are calling, and thanks to our patented technology and proprietary data, we can take the best action to ensure your privacy and security. For the ultimate in accessibility anywhere, you can have your voicemail transcriptions automatically forwarded to your email or your text messaging app. When your voicemails are transcribed, you can quickly scan the important information rather than having to listen to entire rambling voice messages.
And in this hyper-remote world of disparate communications out the wazoo — such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, social DMs, and on — we give you a bit of your sanity back by streamlining your voicemails to your email or text inboxes. Record your own greetings or choose one from our vast library of offerings.
Set custom greetings for all callers or choose specific greetings for individual callers. The world is your oyster. When the spoken word is converted to text, a world of possibility opens up. Not only do voicemail messages become easier to skim, they become easier to organize. But which voicemail was it? You could painstakingly listen to every voicemail you received around that time, you could even scan the transcription of each manually.
As you can imagine, this is incredibly useful for business applications when searching for that critical message you need right away. Signing up for a free YouMail account is easy as pie and making it your default visual voicemail is a piece of cake.
The suit was filed in U. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas. Representing Klausner is the Santa Monica, Calif. The suit also names Comcast Corp. Klausner cites its U. Patents 5,, and 5,,, separately granted in and , which describe a "telephone answering device linking displayed data with recorded audio message.
Klausner later settled with those other companies and has licensed its patents to them. It is especially easy when you look at how many companies are doing this now. Are you really arguing that every company that is doing this saw the patent and copied it?
This is another good case for an independent invention argument for obviousness. Don't patents protect the process, not the end product?
A patent of a toaster would patent the specific mechanical interactions that go on inside the product that lowers bread into a small oven, then pops it up with a timer.
The patent would not be able to protect the overall idea of "a small kitchen appliance that automatically toasts bread to the desired amount. The original transistor design is not what we use today, even though it was patented. People found better ways to do the same thing and that's what we use today.
So how can companies patent overall ideas like visual voice mail? Wouldn't they have to patent the actual method of translating the voice mail on phone company servers into a visual UI? I guess this would go back to the whole nonsense of patenting software. Yes, because innovation never occurs without patents and hence all ideas should be patented. You mean the windshield wiper technology that was stolen from the inventor, who had to spend years fighting in the courts to get proper credit and ownership of?
Who actually built a working model of his invention beforehand? There was even a Hollywoodized movie about this. Way to counter your own point: Just because you patent an idea doesn't mean you're the rightful holder of that IP. Your saying patents are so important because the patent system is broken?
Because no one looks for prior art or tries to verify the credibility of an application? That's some hilarious circular logic you've got going there.
Without the patent system, someone else could claim the patents! Anonymous Coward , 28 Apr am. Anonymous Coward , 29 Apr am. So it's okay that the patent office doesn't check that the applicant actually invented the thing in question?
Great system there. Andrew D.
