Vonage and Verizon — Prepare for Round 2

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?

    If its ordinary and obvious then their can not be any patent infrigment if its prior art and that prior art has a patent the problem still exists only not with the same company.
