The tech giant, Google LLC, is currently facing infringement claims from the patent holder of reverse phone lookup technology used on the inventor’s website, OKCaller.com. Plaintiff Jeff Isaacs has alleged that Google is infringing his patent, No. US RE48,847, which is titled “Post-Page Caller Name Identification System.”
The legal battle between Google and Jeff Isaacs highlights the importance of protecting intellectual property rights in the technology sector. It showcases the potential risks and liabilities that arise when utilizing patented technology without proper authorization.

The outcome of this case will set a precedent for how companies like Google handle infringement claims related to patented technology, and it will shed light on the legal responsibilities of tech giants to respect the intellectual property rights of inventors and patent holders.
