VoIP IP litigation update...

Vonage announced this morning that it had acquired "three significant patents" related to packet compression from Digital Packet Licensing Inc.

According to Vonage, acquisition of these patents "places Vonage in control of pending litigation against Sprint Communications LP and Verizon Communications" in federal court.

We're glad to see Vonage fighting back, but we expect protracted IP litigation to continue on the VoIP front for quite a while. Congrats. to Digital Packet Licensing Inc. ... must have been a nice pay day.
