The New York Times has a very nice write up about patents being awarded in the VoIP realm.
It’s good to see invention is not dead, and that taking ideas that worked in the past, are going to impact the future.
My question, what’s so different about a switchbox in VoIP and one used by Ham radio enthusiasts or to toggle between a VCR and a cable box….I realy wonder sometimes if the patent office thinks this stuff through.
