[Asterisk-biz] Google sued over VoIP LCR patent

[Ed Guy]

C F,

I assume you're coming to the conclusion that DUNDi infringes from ' 
representative claim 1'
in the document you referenced.  It also also seems to conflict with any 
referral based lookup
including  DNS, ENUM,  SIP (in refer mode), and  LDAP, however, IANAL, 
and I cant tell how the
this document relates to the infringement suit. (except that it 
references an RTI patent that is
the subject of the suit.)

However,  searching further, I found ( 
http://271patent.blogspot.com/2005/12/rates-technology-inc.html )
that Patents 5,425,085 
<http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;d=PALL&p=1&u=/netahtml/srchnum.htm&r=1&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;f=G&l=50&s1=5425085.WKU.&OS=PN/5425085&RS=PN/5425085>

(* http://tinyurl.com/c99mf )* are
the subject of the suit.

If you can stand to read through the various claims, you can easily draw 
your
own conclusion and understand why google is defending their position.
