The technology allows for automatic routing of digital messages of all types based on recipient preferences or technical capabilities of the recipient’s system. This is the second lawsuit Venali filed against j2. The previously filed lawsuit was focused on several of j2’s actions that Venali claims violate U.S. anti-trust laws.
