Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products that facilitate and account for call-through advertising between third party advertisers and users of Web-enabled telephone devices, are provided. An advertisement server serves an advertisement associated with a third party to a Web-enabled telephone device for insertion within a Web page displayed within the device. The advertisement contains an embedded hyperlink associated with the advertisement server. In response to user activation of the advertisement, the advertisement server serves telephone connection information of the third party to the Web-enabled telephone device. The telephone connection information is in a format that can be utilized by the Web-enabled telephone device to establish telephone communications with the third party. Information associated with serving the telephone connection information to the Web-enabled telephone device is stored. Information associated with a user establishing telephone communications with the third party via the Web-enabled telephone device may also be stored.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
