WACO, Texas, June 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VoIP-Pal.com Inc. (“VoIP-Pal”, “Company”) (OTCQB: VPLM) has filed new patent infringement lawsuits in the Western District of Texas, Waco Division against Verizon (Civil Action No. 6:24-cv-298) and T-Mobile (Civil Action No. 6:24-cv-299). Both allege infringement of two of VoIP-Pal’s “Routing, Billing, and Rating” patents, United States Patent Nos. 8,542,815 and U.S. Patent 9,179,005. Additionally, the complaint against T-Mobile also alleges infringement of another one VoIP-Pal’s continuation patents, U.S. Patent No. 10,218,606 (“the ’606 patent”).

VoIP-Pal considers these patents to be a landmark achievement in the world of modern telecommunications. The RBR patents claim the technology required to classify and route “call sessions” over a complex multiple node structure, whether private to private, public to public, or any combination thereof, all of which may include voice, messaging, and video, including legacy PSTN calls. The new complaints also assert patent claims that cover Direct Inward Dialing (DID), which were not asserted in the original lawsuits.

VoIP-Pal CEO, Emil Malak said, “This has been a long journey which first began for me in 2005 with Digifonica and has taken a long time to get where we are now. While we are prepared to go the distance if needed, we remain hopeful to resolve our legal actions prior to commencement of a trial. Patience is a virtue.”

The Company has upcoming trials in cases asserting its Mobile Gateway patents scheduled for August 19, 2024, against Verizon (Civil Action No. 6:21-cv-672-ADA) and November 4, 2024, against T-Mobile (Civil Action No. 6:21-cv-674-ADA).
