[asterisk-biz] Click-to-call lawsuit - Voip Inc.

[Dean Collins]

Weak as piss.

If you are that concerned sell your hardware to a third party
incorporation outside of the usa and 'lease' back a service on a 'cost
per basis'.

Then when you receive the subpoena tell them to go F4ck themselves.

When are USA politicians going to realize that Troll patents like this
are damaging the economy by driving up the cost of doing business in the
USA. 


Cheers,

Dean

one way around this would be to read their patent and see if you can do
it a way that doesnt violate.  I know google has a feature like this and
they dont appear to be sued.  They make an attractive target if the
patent is valid, not so attractive if its junk because they tend to
fight that, such as RTI (from NY somewhere) patent on LCR.  Google
called shenanigans and they sued for $4B or something, their settlement
fee was something around $20k and got many to settle because it was
cheaper than fighting it.
