(InfoWorld) - A federal jury has found that Vonage infringed three Verizon patents and must pay $58 million in damages plus royalties to Verizon, Vonage confirmed Thursday. Verizon sued Vonage last June, alleging the VoIP provider had violated seven of its patents involving the packet-based calling technology. In reality, the giant carrier sued to try to eliminate "a formidable competitor" to part of its traditional phone business, said Vonage spokeswoman Brooke Schulz. Vonage must pay a 5.5 percent royalty rate on future sales to use the Verizon technology. After the verdict, Verizon asked for a permanent injunction to stop Vonage from using the technology altogether, Vonage confirmed. In a statement, Vonage said it expects the verdict to be reversed on appeal. The award was 70 percent lower than the $197 million that Verizon originally sought, Vonage said. There is no basis for an injunction, and Vonage will seek a stay from the Federal Court of Appeals if it is imposed, the company said. Vonage customers should not see any change to their service, Vonage said. "We are proud of our inventors and pleased the jury stood up for the legal protections they deserve," Verizon said in a statement. Â
