Voip-Pal.Com Inc. Fiscal 2nd Quarter Update of Patent
Applications
BELLEVUE, Wash., April 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Voip-Pal.Com
Inc. ("Voip-Pal", "Company") (OTC PINK: VPLM) is pleased to
announce a Fiscal 2nd Quarter update of its portfolio of
Patent Pending Applications.
Voip-Pal/Digifonica's patent application 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): This patent was issued on April 16,
2013 with the number 8,422,507. Lawful Intercept
Continuation patent application was filed with the USPTO.
This Continuation leverages patented technology for instant and
text messages, and inherits the same Priority date of November 29, 2007. A Response in
Europe will be filed in 2
weeks.
The advantage of this patent 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): A
Response to USPTO office action will be filed in 2 weeks. A
Response in Europe has already
been filed.
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):
USPTO office action has been received and a Response is currently
being prepared to be filed.
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): A Response
to USPTO office action has been filed.
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 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:
- Provide scalable and the most cost-effective solution for
partners, when prices for Internet calls go down to zero
- 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.
