BELLEVUE, Wash. -- (Business Wire)
Voip-Pal.com Inc. (“Voip-Pal”, “Company”) (OTC Pink: VPLM) is pleased to
announce that the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has allowed a
seventh patent application “Intercepting Voice Over IP Communications
and Other Data Communications,” Application No. 13/863,306. Allowance
means that prosecution is closed for the patent application and it is
allowed for issuance as a patent. This patent was originally applied for
in April of 2013 as part of a continuation to the Lawful Intercept
Patent (LI), No. 8,422,507.
The technology associated with this newly allowed patent application
strengthens the original Lawful Intercept patent and broadens the scope
of its practical implementation. Lawful Intercept provides a means to
not only stealthily intercept phone calls, but also SMS, (text messages)
MMS, (multimedia or picture messages) and video chat in real time. Over
the past few years text messaging has become the leading form of
wireless communication with billions of text messages sent each day.
Voip-Pal’s original Lawful Intercept patent was applied for in 2007, two
years before Microsoft Corporation filed for a patent, for its own
version entitled Legal Intercept in 2009, (US Patent Application 20110153809).
Though both patent applications had substantial similarities, Voip-Pal’s
version had priority due to its earlier filing date. Microsoft’s Legal
Intercept was rejected by the USPTO in 2011 and has since been abandoned.
Voip-Pal’s Lawful Intercept will offer solutions to common law
enforcement problems by providing the capability to immediately
intercept text messages in real time and potentially thwart crimes and
acts of terror. In addition to text messaging and VoIP call
interception, Lawful Intercept can intercept video chat applications
like Microsoft’s SKYPE and Google Hangout. Voip-Pal believes that with
the rapidly expanding role of VoIP communications across the globe,
Lawful Intercept’s capacity for real time interception of all forms of
VoIP communications will become a fundamental tool for governments and
law enforcement agencies worldwide in their efforts to fight and prevent
crime and provide for national security.
Dr. Thomas E. Sawyer, Chairman and CEO of Voip-Pal stated, “The current
Board and management are very grateful that the technological vision of
our engineering staff several years ago was so perceptive as to yield
patented technologies that are now the basis of the emerging VoIP
network functionality. This latest patent further reinforces Voip-Pal’s
disruptive technology position in the rapidly growing VoIP arena.
Testing by Legacy telephone companies of VoIP networks gives evidence of
its credibility. ”
