Magic Jack ends suit against Net Talk

 

A suit between Magic Jack and a Miami-based rival has ended.

Net Talk, with headquarters in suburban Miami-Dade, announced Tuesday that Magic Jack had dropped its patent-infringement suit against Net Talk over the company’s Internet phone service. Magic Jack is one of the best-known providers of VOIP (voice over Internet protocol), and sued Net Talk in April over the competitor’s product.

In December, both sides agreed to drop the legal action, and the federal case was dismissed.
