Compromise Injunctions
Bullet to the Head?
Rather than issuing a full permanent injuction against Vonage (for infringing on Verizon patents) a federal judge issued a "compromise injunction" barring Vonage from signing up new customers, but still allowing them to service existing customers.
"The company’s lawyers argued that the compromise injunction issued by U.S. District Court Judge Claude Hilton would be almost as devastating as ordering Vonage to cut off service to its 2.2 million existing customers. "It’s the difference of cutting off oxygen as opposed to the bullet in the head,” Vonage lawyer Roger Warin said."
