We won't be seeing those annoying Vonage commercials for too much longer - From CNN "
Vonage lawyer: Ruling a 'bullet to the head'": "
Vonage Holdings Corp. cannot add new customers while it appeals a finding that it infringed Verizon Communications Inc. patents for making phone calls over the Internet, a federal judge ruled Friday." Woo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo.

I took patent law in law school (I got a B+ too despite ZERO technical background) and I know you have a patent in something. Why isn't "making phone calls over the internet" a patent void for obviousness? Is is the specific technology used? What do you think?
Well, it seems silly trying to patent ANY kind of information sent over the internet (music, movies, voices) but I thought maybe Vonage found a niche for a special USB-based linkup. Who knows? Sometimes I think it all depends on how tenacious your patent lawyer is.
Those VONAGE ads with that jerk doing that stupid whomping are rediclous
