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
