CallSource settles patent dispute with Who's Calling
CallSource acquires patent rights to call-tracking technology
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA, April 28, 2004 - CallSource announced today the settlement of a patent infringement lawsuit filed against the company by Who's Calling, Inc. in 2002. The settlement gives CallSource joint, undivided ownership of U.S. Patent No. 6,470,079, "System and Method for Real-Time Reporting of Advertising Effectiveness," originally issued to Who's Calling. The settlement also results in a permanent dismissal of the patent infringement suit.
Who's Calling obtained the patent in 2002. CallSource maintained that it had introduced the same process six years before the patent was issued. "We asserted all along that CallSource invented the technology," said Jerry Feldman, CallSource CEO. "Now that CallSource's ownership of the patent is resolved, all our energies are focused on developing the next generation of solutions and services for our valued customer."
