I am looking at Verizon Services Corp. v. Vonage Holdings Corp., Slip 
Copy, 2007 WL 528749, E.D.Va.,2007, which is the result of the Markman 
hearing. That is the court interpreting the claim language, and here are 
the patents discussed:

6,137,869
6,430,275
6,104,711
6,282,574
6,359,880
6,128,304
6,298,062

I do not know which of these Vonage was found to have infringed.

Patrick
