In a Monday statement, Klausner Technologies said that it has filed patent-infringement lawsuits against Motorola and Research In Motion (RIM), for violating its patent pertaining to visual voicemail – the technology that allows callers to see a list of voicemail messages and select the one they want to listen to first.

The patent-infringement lawsuits against Motorola nad RIM have been filed in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, and Klausner is seeking damages as well as an injunction against continued use of the patents by the two cell-phone makers.

Accusing Motorola of using visual voicemail on its ‘Cliq’ mobile phones, and RIM for violating the same patent on 3G BlackBerry Bold 9700 phones, Klausner – a company that boasts 25 patents related to visual voicemail technology – specified that the other Motorola phones with visual voicemail, as well as the other BlackBerry models, are already under due licenses from the company.

While Klausner settled with Apple and AT&T Inc. over the visual voicemail patent infringement issue last year; this August it sued Cisco Systems and Avaya over the same infringement.

In all, Klausner has licensed its patented visual voicemail technology to 24 compnaies, including while eBay, Sprint Nextel, Apple, and AT&T; it has filed patent-infringement lawsuits against a fairly long list of companies, including Google, Cox Communications, LG Electronics, Verizon, Vonage and Qwest.
