("Voip-Pal") (OTC Pink Sheets: VPLM) is pleased to announce the status of its portfolio of Patent Pending Applications. Voip-Pal is concentrating its efforts with working with the U.S. government patent agency on the Lawful Intercept and Mobile Gateway Patent Applications. Voip-Pal's Lawful Intercept and Mobile Gateway Patent Applications are part of Voip-Pal's agreement to acquire Digifonica (International) Limited ("Digifonica"), a private company registered in Gibraltar. Digifonica's Lawful Intercept Patent Application is called "Intercepting Voice Over IP Communications and other Data Transmissions" and was filed on November 29, 2007 (US Patent Publication No. 20100150138, Link to Digifonica Lawful Intercept USPTO filing). Digifonica's Mobile Gateway Patent Application was filed on July 28, 2009 (US Patent Publication No. 20110122827, Link to Digifonica Mobile Gateway USPTO filing).

"Voip-Pal has chosen at this time to concentrate its efforts on working with the U.S. government patent agency in regards to its Lawful Intercept and Mobile Gateway Patent Applications," states Dennis Chang, President of Voip-Pal. "The Lawful Intercept Patent Application is currently under active prosecution processing, while the Mobile Gateway Patent Application is under the current status of 'Ready for Examination'. Voip-Pal is now in the process of integrating and testing these two technologies on Voip-Pal's proprietary softswitch Framework and newly launched website, www.PlatinumPhone.com." Voip-Pal/Digifonica's Lawful Intercept Patent Application discloses the most efficient way of intercepting voice over the Internet. This revolutionary technology was developed to address the national and international demands by governments to enable law agencies the ability to perform scheduled and live intercepts (wire-taps) on Digital Voice telephone conversations. This Patent Application becomes increasingly more significant as more and more countries are beginning to require telecom companies to have Lawful Intercept capability. Mobile Gateway is a patent technology that has been developed to provide a mechanism for a single subscriber device to connect using WiFi, WiMAX and other wireless data connections. The Mobile Gateway technologies will enable cellular operators to permit call sessions established on WiFi/WiMAX to seamlessly roam back onto the standard GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) network when the subscriber leaves the range of the WiMAX/WiFi antenna.
