Denver-based Qwest Communications said today it settled a patent lawsuit with Ronald Katz Technology Licensing L.P. related to interactive voice applications.
Qwest said as part of the settlement, it agreed to pay for a nonexclusive license to use the patents Katz owns.
The telco did not disclose the purchase price for the license.
Qwest said there are about 200 companies with license rights to the patents, which cover a range of interactive technology including automated prescription refill services, securities trading, home shopping and telephone conferences.
