I'm a little ticked at what's going on between Vonage and Verizon. If you haven't already heard, basically Verizon filed a lawsuit against Vonage. The federal courts found Vonage guilty of unintentionally infringing on 3 of 7 claimed patents that Verizon owns. Two of the three were about making calls to public-switched telephone networks, while one was for making wi-fi calls.
I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little sick of the old fashioned patents and copyright laws here in the US. I can understand if a company completely ripped some technological details off from another company that spent time and money into R&D, but come on.
There days people are patenting ideas and not putting viable work into them. Or they are doing what the oil industry does and hold on to all the patents that could work against them just to keep out competition which I find morally sickening.
Either way, read this article from USA Today: Vonage: No tech 'workaround'
