Waterbury, CT | From what I've read Vonage has made some pretty strong points in this case.
Their # 1 point would seem to be that Verizons patents are invalid because this was originally Net2phones technology in the first place.
If they've been able to successfully demonstrate that for the jury, Verizon probably has a real tough time on their hands.
Also, I previously read somewhere that Verizon succeeded in having these patents be viewed in a pretty broad light in how they could be presented in this case.
They could go against them now as far as Vonages claiming the net2phone connection. In other words, if verizon is trying to say that vonages use of them is pretty similar to their patents..then isn't it fair to also say that verizons patents were also pretty similar to what net2phone had done as well?
And finally, it seems to me that verizon, the pots company of decades..is now trying to present themselves as the voip technology company that Vonage has stolen from.
I'm not sure that if I was a juror, that would pass the credibility test with me.
What I would be more inclined to believe is what Vonage has said in that this is all just about Verizon trying to shut down a competitor.
In any event, it's an interesting case.

| I maintain...That Vonage should NEVER, have gone mainstream...Too much advertising took the geek outa the VoIP line!
Cost all those that tried to avoid the idiot factions of e911. Of course we all had to suffer the complete idiots that didn't get what VoIP was intended for. The same group are very happily paying out booko bucks to Ahem; Cxxxst ~Because they are just simply too stupid!
There will always be the stupid faction, that costs those that have have an idea 
Friggin idiots outa have just stayed away from what they don't understand. |

I don't know if Verizon's credibility as a VOIP company from which Vonage stole is relevant. Even if Verizon is to VOIP what Al Gore is to the Internet, they either own a patent Vonage is using or they don't.
Edit: I should say, they either own a patent Vonage is using without their permission or they don't. |
