Vonage is once again on the offensive,now asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit inWashington D.C. to vacate and remand the courts decision that ruledVonage had infringed on Verizons patents. Vonage is also asking thatthe case be retried in a lower court.

The request comes in the wake of the KSR v. Teleflex (link to official legal document)case in which the Supreme Court adopted a new process designed todetermine if an invention is too obvious to warrant patent protection.
