Vonage seems to have so many patent disputes it has actually become hard to keep track of them all. We recently saw them settle the latest with AT&T and now have reports of them settling with Nortel.

The dispute with Nortel was involving patents dealing with 911 calls, 411 calls and click-to-call technology and originated from a lawsuit filed by Digital Packet Licensing back in 2004. It was settled without any payment or damages required to be payed.

“This is the last of them and we’re quite happy to put it behind us,” Vonage spokesman Charles Sahner said.

With this settlement coming just in time before the years end, maybe they can go into 2008 with a fresh start considering all the trouble is now behind them.
