MATERIAL LITIGATION
Bear Creek Technologies, Inc. On February 22, 2011, Bear Creek Technologies,
Inc. (“Bear Creek”) filed a lawsuit against Vonage Holdings Corp., Vonage
America, Inc., and Vonage Marketing LLC in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Virginia (Norfolk Division) alleging that Vonage’s
products and services are covered by United States Patent No. 7,889,722,
entitled “System for Interconnecting Standard Telephony Communications Equipment
to Internet Protocol Networks” (the “722 Patent”). The suit also named numerous
other defendants, including Verizon Communications, Inc., Comcast Corporation,
Time-Warner Cable, Inc., AT&T, Inc., and T-Mobile USA Inc. On August 17, 2011,
the Court dismissed Bear Creek’s case against the Vonage entities, as well as
all the other defendants, except for one defendant. Later, on August 17, 2011,
Bear Creek re-filed its complaint concerning the ‘722 Patent in the United
States District Court for the District of Delaware against the same Vonage
entities. In its Delaware complaint, Bear Creek alleges that Vonage is
infringing one or more claims of the ‘722 Patent.  In addition, Bear Creek
alleges that Vonage is contributing to and inducing infringement of one or more
claims of the ‘722 Patent. On September 28, 2011, Vonage filed a motion to
dismiss Bear Creek’s claims for induced, contributory, and willful infringement,
which was denied on September 27, 2012. On January 25, 2012, Bear Creek filed a
motion with the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation seeking
to transfer and consolidate its litigation against Vonage with thirteen separate
actions Bear Creek filed in the U.S. District Courts for Delaware and the
Eastern District of Virginia.  On May 2, 2012, the Multidistrict Litigation
Panel granted Bear Creek’s motion and ordered the coordination or consolidation
for pretrial proceedings of all fourteen actions in the U.S. District Court for
the District of Delaware. On October 11, 2012, Vonage filed an answer to Bear
Creek’s complaint, including counterclaims of non-infringement and invalidity of
the ‘722 patent. On November 5, 2012, Bear Creek filed an answer to Vonage’s
counterclaims. On January 22, 2013, the Court set a conference in the case for
March 19, 2013, for the purpose of discussing case management including setting
a case schedule.
On March 8, 2012, a third-party requested the United States Patent and Trademark
Office (“USPTO”) to reexamine the validity of the asserted ‘722 Patent. The
USPTO granted the request on April 26, 2012, and subsequently issued an initial
Office Action rejecting all of the ‘722 Patent claims. After reconsideration
based on statements made by the patentee, however, the USPTO on September 19,
2012, reversed its initial rejection, and confirmed all claims as patentable
over the references cited in the reexamination request. A second request for
reexamination of the ‘722 Patent was filed on September 12, 2012, by Cisco
Systems, Inc., challenging the validity of the ‘722 Patent. Cisco’s request was
granted by the USPTO on November 28, 2012. No Office Action in this
reexamination has been issued by the USPTO. A third request for reexamination of
the ‘722 Patent was filed on September 14, 2012, and the USPTO denied this
request on December 6, 2012.
OpinionLab, Inc. On July 18, 2012, OpinionLab, Inc. (“OpinionLab”) filed a
lawsuit against IPerceptions, Inc. and IPerceptions US, Inc. (“IPerceptions”)
alleging claims of patent infringement, breach of contract, misappropriation of
trade secrets, and tortious interference with business expectancy. On August 16,
2012, OpinionLab filed an amended complaint, adding Vonage Marketing LLC and
Vonage Holdings Corp. as defendants, and alleging that Vonage’s products and
services are covered by United States Patent Nos. 6,421,724, 6,606,581,
6,928,392, 7,085,820, 7,370,285, 8,024,668, and 8,041,805. OpinionLab alleged
direct, indirect and willful infringement against Vonage. IPerceptions, the
supplier to Vonage of the accused product in this lawsuit, has agreed to fully
indemnify and defend Vonage in this lawsuit. On September 11, 2012, IPerceptions
and Vonage each moved to dismiss OpinionLab’s indirect and willful patent
infringement claims. The motions were denied on November 8, 2012. Vonage
answered the complaint on December 7, 2012. The court has scheduled a status
hearing for February 19, 2013.
