Klausner Technologies has finally received what it wants from Apple, Ebay and AT&T following a lawsuit which they filed against the three companies requiring them to license its patent for its voicemail technology.

If you would recall, Klausner sued thse companies for $360 million in damages and future royalties over their unlicensed used of the company’s visual alert technology that alerts computers or mobile phones when a user received a voice message. Likewise the technology can also selectively retrieve messages.

Although the financial details of the settlements were not disclosed, it must be too good an offer that Klausner is also reportedly negotiating with Comcast and Cablevision for the use of their technology.

“The patent litigation with Apple has been settled. The patents have been licensed to Apple,” said its founder Judah Klausner.

The licensing deal adds up to Klausner’s other licensees which include Vonage and Sprint Nextel.
