(“Voip-Pal”, “Company”) (OTCQB: VPLM) provides the following updates regarding the Company’s patent infringement lawsuits against Twitter, Verizon, AT&T and Apple, asserting U.S. Patent Nos. 8,542,815 and 9,179,005 (the “original lawsuits”).

​

• In August of 2018, AT&T and Verizon filed separate Motions to Dismiss these original lawsuits under 35 U.S.C. § 101, asserting that the ‘005 and ‘815 patents do not claim patentable subject matter. Voip-Pal vigorously opposed both AT&T and Verizon’s motions to dismiss separately. Subsequent to Voip-Pal’s opposition, both AT&T and Verizon withdrew their respective Motions to Dismiss. The Company expects a single joint consolidated motion to be filed by the Defendants which Voip-Pal intends to oppose vigorously as the Company did in responding to Verizon’s and AT&T’s Motions to Dismiss.

​

• Voip-Pal’s patent infringement lawsuits against Amazon and Apple, asserting U.S. Patent Nos. 9,537,762, 9,813,330, 9,826,002 and 9,948,549 (the “second lawsuits) have all been transferred from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Moreover, these second lawsuits have been consolidated for pre-trial purposes before the Honorable Judge Lucy H. Koh.

​

• The Company is waiting on the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) decision on Apple’s post-judgement motions filed on December 20, 2017, following the PTAB’s final written decisions on November 20, 2017, in favor of Voip-Pal on the inter partes reviews filed by Apple and AT&T. In total Voip-Pal has prevailed in all eight IPR challenges the Company has faced. 

​

Emil Malak, CEO of Voip-Pal said, “We are very pleased to finally be in court and have the opportunity to state our case. We are looking forward to a trial by jury before the Honorable Judge Lucy H. Koh in these cases. 

 

“We started with five core patents and have now grown our portfolio to twenty five allowed and issued patents. We have fought against tough odds and will continue to see our fight through to the end. Patience is a virtue.”
