Voip-Pal.com Inc.’s Enhanced 911 Patent Application Receives Allowance for Issuance as a Patent
Voip-Pal.com Inc. (“Voip-Pal”) (OTC Pink: VPLM) is pleased to announce
that on July 5, 2013, the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) mailed
the Notice of Allowance on its patent application “EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE
CALLING FOR VOICE OVER IP COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS” (“Enhanced 911”). This
notice of allowance means that prosecution is closed for the Enhanced
911 patent application and it is allowed for issuance as a patent. The
Enhanced 911 technology satisfies the major requirement for the
emergency response system which is the ability to call back the person
making an emergency call to 9-1-1 in the event of a dropped connection.
Currently 70% of all emergency calls to 9-1-1 are made via mobile or
VoIP telephones and that number continues to increase. The major
challenge for emergency response personnel is the ability to trace the
call from a 911 mobile or VoIP caller since wireless telephones are not
linked to a fixed location or address.1
“This is another major milestone for Voip-Pal and its shareholders,”
stated CEO, Dennis Chang. “Our Enhanced 911 patent is an important step
forward in VoIP technology and public safety, in that it solves the
major challenges VoIP users face when accessing 9-1-1 emergency services
The ability for VoIP callers to be called back and located after a
dropped call to 9-1-1 could prove to be a matter of life and death.” Mr.
Chang continued, “With the number of daily calls to 9-1-1 made via VoIP
growing so rapidly, the need for this Enhanced 911 technology is very
timely. Additionally, this patent could prove to provide a significant
revenue stream for Voip-Pal while at the same time resolving a major
public safety concern.”
