[asterisk-biz] Vonage Vs. Verizon Update

[Matthew Rubenstein]

	That's not a change in the status of the case. Vonage lost in that
District Court, supposedly setting them up for an appeal in the court
where actual patent and IP expertise is available. Verizon is just
hitting Vonage with an injunction to enforce the patents found infringed
in this first case, which Vonage will just 

	It's a typically lawyer/telco load of BS, but it's standard operating
procedure and the (Vonage) plan. If the district judge who granted the
"permanent" injunction doesn't let Vonage out of it when they ask for
it, then Vonage will ask the new appeals judge to lift that injunction.
If neither judge lifts the injunction, then Vonage actually is screwed,
because that also means those judges don't think the appeal is likely to
be heard or to succeed. And if they actually stop Vonage infringing,
therefore operating, before the appeal is successful, then they likely
will have killed Vonage. And then each less funded competitor, like
those (also) running Asterisk, will be in Verizon's sights.
