In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission Tuesday, the Internet phone service provider said the ongoing legal battles over patent disputes could eventually lead to liquidation of the company's assets under bankruptcy protection.

The company could be a victim of stupid patents. I thought about posting this yesterday, but it's really off-topic for c.o.l.a. It's an example of a company whose intellect is said to be stolen, so it falls victim to lawsuits. How about SCO? Well, they asked for it.... -- ~~ With kind regards Roy S.
