Sprint Nextel Corp on Wednesday announced that one of its subsidiaries has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Vonage Holdings Corp., Voiceglo Holdings Inc. and Theglobe.com Inc. in the US District Court for the District of Kansas.
Sprint Nextel asserts that these companies have willfully infringed seven patents relating to voice over packet technology that it has developed. The patents in question protect a series of innovations that enable the processing and delivery of packetized voice and data communications, including Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications.
In the lawsuit, Sprint seeks an injunction that would prevent these companies from further misappropriating its technology and infringing its patents. The lawsuit also seeks unspecified monetary damages arising from the companies’ unauthorized use of the patented technology and the continued willful infringement of Sprint’s patents.
Speaking to the US media this week with regard to the lawsuit, Sprint spokeswoman Debra Peterson explained that the firm had been attempting to reach agreement with companies thought to be infringing its patents for over a year, but to no avail.
"We are not claiming to have invented voice over packet technology, but we do have patents that have facilitated the use of this technology, and we will take appropriate action to protect the use of these patents," she announced.
