Vonage Barred From Using Verizon VoIP Patents

Posted by Zonk on Friday March 23, 2007 @06:16AM from the those-are-my-patents-do-not-touch-them dept.

thefiremonk writes "Bloomberg reports that U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton has issued a permanent injunction against Vonage. The goal: to stop allowing customers to make calls to standard phone lines. 'U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton approved Verizon's request for a block today in Alexandria, Virginia. Hilton said he won't sign the order before a hearing in two weeks on Vonage's request for a stay. A jury found March 8 that Vonage infringed three patents and should pay Verizon $58 million.' Does this spell doom for the already troubled Vonage? "

Fuck you and the horse you rode in, asshole. I was called up on jury duty a couple summers ago and proudly served my part in the judicial system. Maybe if selfish fucking pricks such as yourself would actually do their civic duty the legal system wouldn't be the joke it is today.
