A patent infringement lawsuit filed by AT&amp;T against voice-over-IP telephony provider-Vonage has been settled, Vonage said late Friday.The settlement brings an unusually speedy end to&#160;the lawsuit filed by AT&amp;T on Oct. 17. It alleged Vonage wilfully infringed an AT&amp;T patent related to telephone systems that allow people to make VOIP (voice-over-Internet Protocol) calls using standard telephone devices. A breakdown in talks between the two companies over the issue led to the lawsuit, AT&amp;T said&#160;at the time.Less than a month later, on Nov. 7, the two companies said they had&#160;tentatively agreed to a settlement. At that time Vonage said it would pay AT&amp;T around $39 million under the terms of the settlement.Final terms were not disclosed on Friday when, in a brief statement, Vonage said the dispute had been settled.Vonage previously&#160;settled a patent suit with Verizon&#160;for $80 million to $120 million, depending on the results of its appeal of a court ruling on two patents, and with Sprint Nextel for $80 million. As part of the Sprint Nextel deal Vonage agreed to license more than 100 patents covering technology for connecting calls from a traditional phone network to an IP network. The Verizon settlement came after a court found Vonage had infringed upon the carrier&#39;s patents.&#160;
