While Internet phone company Vonage (VG) faces the prospect of banktruptcy, appeals court judges considering the company’s request to overturn a patent judgment against Vonage were today asking whether a compromise might be reached in the company’s lawsuit with Verizon Communications (VZ). A jury in March found Vonage had infringed Verizon patents and Vonage narrowly escaped a ban on signing up new customers. Today, the three judges hearing Vonage’s appeal of that March ruling asked both Vonage and Verizon whether there might be a compromise between Vonage’s two choices of not using Verizon’s technology at all, or paying Verizon a royalty.
Being banned from using Verizon’s technology could put Vonage out of business, some have suggested, and paying the royalty Verizon asks for could also be a hefty burden.
Over at GigaOm, Om Malik’s take on today’s news is how dire the times are for Vonage, with the company now offering $3.99-per-month phone calling, a move of desperation, he surmizes.
Vonage shares today rose 1.31% to $3.09 but were back down 2.2% in after hours trading. The shares are down 55.5% this year.

Internet wunderkind and Netscape founder Marc Andreessen has found some free time amidst his duties as chair of software company Opsware (OPSW) to pen a new blog that chronicles “nepotism gone wrong” in the corporate world, specifically, the things he’s observed about the venture capital business and how it makes and breaks companies. He’s currently taking submissions regarding the worst cases of nepotism you can come up with. Worth checking out.
Thanks to Portfolio.com tech blogger Kevin Maney for pointing for the heads up.
