Vonage and Verizon — Prepare for Round 2

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the fight-night dept.

According to the New York Times, Vonage is preparing to take it's case back down to the lower courts for a retrial of the lawsuit against them from Verizon. Their hope is that with newer approaches set forth by the supreme court that the lower courts will be able to decide whether Verizon's patent(s) are ordinary/obvious or deserve patent protection. I wonder if this time it will be more obvious to the courts that Verizon's patents aren't so original?

    Vonage addressing the courts about the obviousness of the patents: ... Can you hear me now?

    Verizon: We object!
