Vonage announced on Friday that they have managed to secure a temporary stay from the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, DC. This will allow them to continue to sign on new customers (and provide services to existing customers) until the Appellate court hears their request for a permanent stay.
Earlier on Friday, the US District Court in Alexandria, Virginia noted that they would be entering an injunction against Vonage effective April 12, 2007 “in connection with certain Verizon technology on which it was found to be infringing. The Court indicated that Vonage would be barred from acquiring new customers during its appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C. In response, Vonage filed for and received an emergency stay of the injunction from the Federal Circuit.”
