"A US judge has banned internet phone firm Vonage from using technology
patents owned by rival Verizon after it was found to have infringed its
rights.
A permanent injunction was issued on Vonage using the technology to connect
users to landline phones but it was stayed for two weeks pending an appeal."

Quote from the report:
"Vonage shares dropped 6% on the news of the injunction..."

Only 6% drop? It doesn't sound to me like the market has taken it as a
death knell.

6% can mean millions of dollars wiped of share values, plus with thier debts
and the %3 million fine, doesn't sound too good to me.
