IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) today said that its technology
licensing subsidiary, Innovative Communications Technologies, Inc.
(ICTI), has filed complaints in the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Virginia against Stalker Software, Inc.
(d/b/a CommuniGate Systems, Inc.), ooVoo, LLC, and Vivox, Inc.
claiming infringement of a number of its key patents. ICTI seeks
both damages and injunctive relief from the defendants.

exploited by many companies, including these defendants. These
actions are the first steps in a broader campaign to protect these
valuable intellectual property assets," said Howard Jonas, Chairman
and CEO of IDT.
“The patents that are the subject of these lawsuits have been
carefully and extensively re-examined by the US Patent and
Trademark Office and the patentability of the claims has been
confirmed," Mr. Jonas noted.
