There were some requests for transcripts for the Verizon vs. Vonage
case. I got frustrated by the lack of general detailed information on
the issue. Most of the court documents are sealed, but I've collected
a bit of the available public info on a personal page, http://
200ok.info/
The best document there is the Claim Construction by Judge Hilton.
Certain ways of deploying SIP systems would be infringing, but others
not. Some interpretations in this thread earlier are too broad.
I do not believe it's willful infringement if the patent is invalid
or unenforceable (see http://www.irmi.com/Expert/Articles/2004/
Warren02.aspx). But are these "network design" patents actually
covered by prior art? I don't think this is a head-in-the-sand moment
for those of us who design SIP-based systems.
