Vonage Loses Patent Dispute with Verizon

Vonage lost the patent lawsuit with Verizon and now the top-management must be looking for ways to pay up the huge bill: over $120 million in damages. Last March, a court found Vonage guilty of infringing on three of the five disputed Verizon's patents, placing an injunction on the company's use of the patented technology to route Internet calls made over traditional phone. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Thursday ruled that Vonage was not entitled to apply for an appeal, regarding the former disputes, thus forcing the company to follow the previous sentence.

Vonage will have to pay Verizon $117.5 million for violating three of Verizon's patents, plus an additional $2.5 million to charity. The company announced that it may not be able to meet its obligations over debt. Previously, Vonage had been sued by Sprint. The final verdict was reached in late September, when a jury in a Kansas City federal court ruled that Vonage had willfully infringed Sprint's patents in providing its VoIP telephony services and was ordered to pay $80 million to settle the dispute.
