Re: What I don't get...

Unlike trademarks that must be defended early on before it becomes diluted, patents can be sat on for a period of time before a lawsuit is filed. If Charter knew that Verizon was infringing and sat on it, allowing Verizon's use to grow in the hopes to increase what could be recovered in a lawsuit, then damages may be limited. However if Charter informed Verizon very early on of the violation but continued to use it or if Verizon knew that it was violating the patent, then damages may be increased.

I don't get it either. Why did they wait until Vonage was well established before they sued them? Karma is a bitch.

is that Charter is coming out with this suit now? Sounds like they are gold digging. If they can't handle the competition, then they may as well go belly up.
