First, Vonage wants to win on their appeal. They would appeal the ruling because they don't feel they did anything wrong. If they knew they were guilty of violating a patent, they would have admitted it and settled or something other than the course they are on now.
Second, if they did nothing wrong, which is a reason they are fighting, then why are they implementing a "workaround" that "doesn't violate the Verizon patent" in the first place? So they MUST have done something wrong and know it. So pay it forward and move on. They've said it would hurt to pay the fine but not destroy them...
Now Sprint wants a piece of Vonage and so does SunRocket too! What gives?? what's the moral to this story?
If ANYTHING it does go to show one thing.. those who allegedly own and hold the patents to the technology have NO interest in making good of them. IF this is the case, Vonage, like them or hate them, IS doing something with them and when they prove that the service works and viable, its only THEN that these birds are coming out from the darkness to pick at the body before its even dead.
You would think that Vonage, Sprint, and Sun Rocket (of all people) who hold these patents would put them to good use and make the money themselves instead of sitting back and suing those who are making it a success.
I'm not normally one to step into the market place, and still am not.. but if this isn't a good cause for change in the patent laws, I don't know what is. Patent holders should either implement their patented idea, market, sell or license it, or the patent should expire in a rather short period of time.. Regardless of who develops the patented idea or product, either use it or lose it. If you stand in the way, you are hurting society.. I think patented technology should be condemnable like anything else for the better good of the public use. If the patent holder is active in pushing their stuff into the market place, great! If not.. condemn it and release the patent.
Just my 2-cents
