In 2006, C2 sued all the major U.S. carriers, including AT&T, Verizon and Qwest, alleging they were infringing the patent. All the carriers settled out of court with one-time payments, according to Weintraub. C2 believes many more companies are violating the patent, as well as another VoIP-related patent owned by C2. Its patents cover most of the technology used in VoIP, though not all VoIP products may infringe them, he said.

That's dirtier than AT&T itself Shocked

Patent squatters. And the problem is clearly listed at the end of that article: patent office is just too overwhelmed and not smart enough to be up on all of this stuff and do it right.

Good for the EFF.
