WASHINGTON (AP) - A judge suggested a possible compromise in a patent dispute between Internet phone carrier Vonage and Verizon Communications that would allow Vonage to continue signing up new customers while it modifies its technologies.
Judge Timothy B. Dyk, part of the three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, made the remark during oral arguments Monday.
The panel is considering Vonage's appeal of a March jury verdict that found Vonage infringed on three Verizon Communications Inc. patents in constructing its Internet phone system. The jury in awarded Verizon $58 million, plus future royalties for continued patent infringement.
