For those of you who may not know, the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) has an endeavor called the Patent Busting Project. The goal is to get the USPTO (Patent and Trademark Office) to review bogus patents that do nothing more than stifle innovation and encourage patent trolls to sue legitimate businesses. The EFF has scored another victory, and this one affects many of us in the VoIP and telephony industries. Please check out this news release from the EFF. It's definitely good news for OSS telephony.
 
If you have any prior art that can be used to assist the EFF with busting bogus patents then please contact them. They are doing us all a favor by getting silly patents overturned. Did you know that someone actually got a patent on the oh-so-clever concept of the hyperlink? Enough said.
