[Asterisk-Dev] Patent lawyers?

[Brian West]

Anyone know a really good patent lawyers... Here are a list of  
patents we have been accused of violating: (And yes we run Asterisk 
+spandsp)

5675507 - Message storage and delivery system (voicemail)
6208638 - Method and apparatus for transmission and retrieval of  
facsimile and
             audio messages over a circuit or packet switched network  
(spandsp sending faxes via email)
6350066 - Systems and methods for storing, delivering, and managing  
messages (think vmail.cgi)
6564321 - Systems and methods for storing, delivering, and managing  
messages (again vmail.cgi)
6857074 - Systems and methods for storing, delivering, and managing  
messages (same as the other two)
6597688 - Scalable architecture for transmission of messages over a  
network (usage with spandsp)

Non-Asterisk Related:
6073165 -Filtering computer network messages directed to a user's e- 
mail box based on user defined filters, and forwarding a filtered  
message to the user's receiver

Some of these patents are just silly and could apply to ANY voicemail  
or messaging system on the planet even email.  We face a "real" legal  
battle with these patents in question.. putting this out here because  
it could have an effect on anyone offering services be it voicemail  
or fax using Asterisk.

Thanks,
Brian
