[asterisk-biz] Verizon Vs Asterisk ?

[shadowym]

Yes!

Verizon should have never been granted those patents in the first place
IMHO.  Kind of like owning a patent to make toast!

Don't know if they could go after Asterisk but it sounds like they could go
after just about any ITSP.

I read through each of the patents Verizon alleges Vonage is infringing.
The patents are extremely broad and two seem to possibly apply to parts of
Asterisk.  If Verizon is successful in its case against Vonage, could Digium
be next in its sights ?

See: 

Enhanced internet domain name server     Patent # 6,104,711
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1
&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6104711.PN.&OS=PN/6104711
&RS=PN/6104711

Method, server and telecommunications system for name translation on a
conditional basis and/or to a telephone number     Patent # 6,282,574
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1
&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6282574.PN.&OS=PN/6282574
&RS=PN/6282574


I'm sure I'm not the only one looking to hear from Digium, Inc. about this
issue ?
