Voip-Pal.com files new patent infringement lawsuits against Verizon, T-Mobile

VoIP-Pal.com (VPLM) has filed new patent infringement lawsuits in the Western District of Texas, Waco Division against Verizon (VZ) and T-Mobile (TMUS). 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. 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, which were not asserted in the original lawsuits. The Company has upcoming trials in cases asserting its Mobile Gateway patents scheduled for August 19, 2024, against Verizon and November 4, 2024, against T-Mobile. A final pre-trial conference in those cases is scheduled for July 9, 2024, and July 15, 2024.
