BELLEVUE, Wash., March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Voip-Pal.Com Inc. ("Voip-Pal", "Company") (OTC Pink: VPLM) is pleased to announce a status update of its portfolio of Patent Pending Applications.
Voip-Pal's portfolio of Patent Applications are part of Voip-Pal's wholly owned subsidiary Digifonica (International) Limited ("Digifonica"), a private company registered in Gibraltar. Voip-Pal/Digifonica's patent portfolio covers major groundwork in modern VoIP communication and the Company believes that it paves the path to future VoIP development. The patent portfolio includes Lawful Intercept, RBR ("Routing, Billing and Rating engine"), Mobile Gateway, Enhanced 911 and Advanced Interoperability Solutions.
1. Lawful Intercept: ("Intercepting VoIP communications and other data
communications") US Patent Application, Publication No. 20100150138,
(Link to Lawful Intercept USPTO filing): Notice of Allowance is currently
issued by USPTO. The advantage of this patent application is that it is
truly undetectable by the intercept target; as opposed to many prior art
technologies. Various governments are considering legislating Lawful
Intercept as a mandatory technology for any VoIP provider. For example,
"India, along with many other countries, believes the device and the
Blackberry infrastructure used by business customers are a threat to
national security."[1] Government officials believe that VoIP systems
could be used by militants and insurgents as a communication hub that
could, for example, lead to an attack similar to the 2008 attack on
Mumbai that left 166 people dead.
2. Routing, Billing and Rating engine (RBR): ("Producing routing messages
for VoIP communications") US Patent Application, Publication No.
20100150328, (Link to RBR USPTO filing): Currently under USPTO
prosecution. The Company believes that this patent application technology
will be the foundation of any modern commercial VoIP system. It has taken
millions of investment dollars and years to develop and solidify into
perhaps the most important architectural solution for VoIP.
3. Mobile Gateway: US Patent Application, Publication No. 20110122827, (Link
to Mobile Gateway USPTO filing): Currently under USPTO prosecution. The
Company believes that Mobile Gateway technology can be applied to any
modern cell phone allowing Internet calls to be transparent for the
users. All current commercial techniques for making cell phone Internet
calls require the users to make additional actions, which are not
necessary with the Mobile Gateway patent application.
4. Enhanced 911: ("Emergency Assistance calling for VoIP communications") US
Patent Application, Publication No. 20100172345, (Link to Enhanced 911
USPTO filing): Currently under USPTO prosecution. This patent application
technology satisfies the major requirement for emergency response system
which is the ability to call back the person on emergency if he drops the
call.
5. Advanced Interoperability Solutions: ("Uninterrupted Transmission of
Internet Protocol Transmissions during Endpoint Changes") US Patent
Application, Publication No. 20120170574, (Link to Advanced
Interoperability Solutions USPTO filing): Currently under USPTO
prosecution. This patent application technology demonstrates the future
of Internet voice communication - calls should not be dropped when
roaming from one transport provider to another.
About Voip-Pal's wholly owned subsidiary, Digifonica (International) Limited
Digifonica (International) Limited ("Digifonica") was originally incorporated as Digifonica International Inc. in 2004 and listed on the TSX stock exchange (DIL-H). The company raised more than $15M of investments into research and development of the most advanced VoIP technologies. It employed approximately 20 developers, some of them being well-known in VoIP industry, who built an integrated white-labelled VoIP system, which can be deployed for new Internet Telephony providers in matter of minutes. The goal was two-fold:
1. Provide scalable and the most cost-effective solution for partners, when
prices for Internet calls go down to zero
2. Comply with government regulations of Internet communications against
illegal activities
Soon after the first production-grade system was released for partners, it became clear that architectural solutions developed and operated by Digifonica, were highly advanced in the industry and required protection. Digifonica decided to dedicate sufficient resources, both human and financial, to work with the top Canadian firm practising in intellectual property - Smart & Biggar. That cooperation produced the results: Digifonica filed overall 5 patent applications, starting from 2007. The Patent Applications were all filed initially as PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) applications, came through International phase, then entered National phases in many countries around the world, first of all in US Canada and Europe. They are all in different stages of prosecution.
