Vonage Patent News - Redux

More bad news for Vonage on the patent front. As I noted in an earlier post, Vonage was found liable for patent infringement in separate suits in Missouri and Virginia. Now the Virginia verdict, for over $50 million plus 5.5% of future revenue, has been upheld on appeal, reports CNET News.com.

The verdict might be reduced somewhat on remand, because Vonage won as to one patent out of three, but the news isn't good for the co. No word on whether Vonage will appeal.
