Vonage Wins Permanent Stay of Patent Ruling

Vonage this week received a permanent stay of injunction from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington D.C. that would have barred it from signing up new customers. The permanent stay enables Vonage to add new customers as the company pursues an appeal to that ruling. Existing customers remain unaffected by the company’s ongoing patent litigation, Vonage said.

Having never touched Vonage myself, I can’t say I am a fan. It’s good to see that they were granted this stay though, as Verizon seems to want to rid VoIP entirely, at least as we know it. Now Vonage can relax a little and focus more on the actual case at hand.
