I wrote and used a visual voice mail, software app on a PC with a card that allowed calls to be recorded to disk.In the early 80's I wrote a program to list the call history, allow the user to chose which calls to listen to [or not], which order and which to return. I then took the same idea and used it years later to do the same thing on my employers ASPECT ACD. The same software tools were written to control the voice mail from the Aspect desk phone, or via a application running on anyone's workstation of choice [SUN, IBM, HP].  So can I take my software and market it without payments to the patent holder, by proving prior art? (I know most of you are not patent lawyers, but still may have an idea of how the system works)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Terry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 11th 2009 12:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google, LG settle visual voicemail patent suits with Klausner]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/google-lg-settle-visual-voicemail-patent-suits-with-klausner/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/google-lg-settle-visual-voicemail-patent-suits-with-klausner/</guid><description><![CDATA[<br><br>prior art if it can be proven (and is applicable, etc.) will render the patent invalid (and probably in this case render the settlements null)<br><br>you can't invent something that's already been invented. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[catfish]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2009 5:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google, LG settle visual voicemail patent suits with Klausner]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/google-lg-settle-visual-voicemail-patent-suits-with-klausner/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/google-lg-settle-visual-voicemail-patent-suits-with-klausner/</guid><description><![CDATA[you should approach apple and tell them you have this prior art.  they'll probably buy your "company" to get their money back from the settlement then.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2009 4:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google, LG settle visual voicemail patent suits with Klausner]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/google-lg-settle-visual-voicemail-patent-suits-with-klausner/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/google-lg-settle-visual-voicemail-patent-suits-with-klausner/</guid><description><![CDATA[I would like to use my prior art to my gain, but it may not be so easy.

Even though I had a fully functional "Video Voice mail" working on my personal home hardware and software [developed on my own time at home], later bringing the functionality to an enterprise environment, on enterprise level hardware. The problem is at some point I signed a document that said any software I developed belonged my then employer. I do not know if that would hold up. BTW my former employer may to need to be paying license fees after all. Maybe I should contact them. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Terry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 12th 2009 5:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google, LG settle visual voicemail patent suits with Klausner]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/google-lg-settle-visual-voicemail-patent-suits-with-klausner/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/11/google-lg-settle-visual-voicemail-patent-suits-with-klausner/</guid><description><![CDATA[That last line should have read that my former employer may NOT need to be paying license fees after all.<br><br>I do have  enough documentation, working SW/HW to how that I had a production product back in the early 80's.
