Ok, So wouldn't that put Level3 in violation? They use enum....I'm pretty sure other ACTUAL Telcos use it as well!!! It almost sounds like rather then enum, Verizon has a patent on DNS servers!!!!
At any rate. 628... and 610... seem to talk about enum (or DNS). If you aren't running enum you should be fine... we aren't. The 635... talks about a WiFi phone that is an ATA. Uhrm, wouldn't that make Cisco and Aastra in violation of this patent with their WiFi phones?!? So, I read that as if you aren't giving WiFi phones to your computers, you are ok also.. good check, we're fine there. I don't see where the patent is that people claim Vonage violated with 'interconnecting to the PSTN'. THAT would be a huge blow to VoIP and Asterisk... but these are just enum and WiFi phones (which, albiet I think it's stupid, aren't going to kill Vonage or VoIP). Further, how the heck did they NOT violate patent 6430275? That sounds like it would describe ANY metered telephone service that allows a customer to check their status online!

Verizon Update Kristian the astlinux guy and the last name that is almost impossible to spell posted this one awhile back.. Here's the information.. Hello everyone, It seemed like no one could find the actual Verizon patents involved in the Verizon v. Vonage case that has been making the news. So I did a little digging. Let me tell you - the US Federal Government does not make these things easy! :) Here the are... Vonage Infringed: Patent #6,282,574: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6282574.PN.&OS=PN/6282574&RS=PN/6282574 I only bothered reading as far as this patent – what a crock!! Basically this describes any enum service out there, theres nothing innovative in this at all. The USA patent service is a POC.
