Verizon sues Vonage over patent infringement on VoIP technology
Why isn’t this a surprise? Verizon Communications is suing Vonage for infringing on several of Verizon’s patents over the technology that makes VoIP calls happen. In an otherwise run-of-the-mill patent infringement suit, a twist in the case is that Verizon IS NOT asking the Federal District Court in the Eastern District of Virginia (where the suit was filed) to put an immediate stop to Vonage’s operations. However, of course, if (and a very BIG if) Verizon prevails in the litigation, they will ask the court to place a cease-and-desist order on Vonage. Obviously, Vonage has been having its share of troubles lately, including their IPO dropping like a rock over the last few days. However, it remains to be seen if this lawsuit has any true merit, or if this is another case of a big telco trying to put the kibosh on advancing technology, as has been witnessed in the growth of municipal WiFi networks.
