Kazuo Hashimoto, known as the father of the telephone answering machine, filed his first patent on the device in 1958. Hashimoto has been working on phone-related inventions for 37 years. He filed for a Caller ID in Japan in 1976, and he received a US patent in 1980 and another in 1985. When Hashimoto charged AT&T with infringement of his Caller ID patents, AT&T responded with a challenge of Hashimoto's patents, asking the US Patent & Trademark Office to reexamine and disallow the inventor's claims. The patent was upheld, however, and AT&T has agreed to a confidential out-of-court settlement. Industry observers expect that other vendors will agree to pay royalties.
