Voip-Pal.com Inc. (“Voip-Pal”, “Company”) (OTC Pink: VPLM) asserts that
its Lawful Intercept technology (U.S. Patent No. 8,422,507), is the
first patented method for intercepting VoIP communications. The Voice
over internet Protocol (VoIP) industry is experiencing very rapid
growth, while traditional landline subscriptions are on the decline. In
2012 the VoIP industry saw revenues of $63 billion, and is currently
experiencing double digit growth. With the number of mobile VoIP
subscribers expected to reach 410 million by 2015, traditional
wiretapping by law enforcement agencies is being rendered obsolete in
that it is not effective in VoIP communications interception. Voip-Pal’s
Lawful Intercept patent was applied for in 2007, two years before
Microsoft Corporation filed for a patent, for its own version entitled
Legal Intercept in 2009, (US Patent Application 20110153809).
Though both patent applications had substantial similarities, Voip-Pal’s
version had priority due to its earlier filing date. Microsoft’s Legal
Intercept was rejected by the USPTO in 2011 and Voip-Pal’s Lawful
Intercept was allowed in January of 2013 and issued as a patent this
past April.
The ability to intercept VoIP communications is a critical part of the
global war on terrorism. Governments around the world have blocked
Microsoft’s SKYPE and similar applications due to their inability to
monitor communications for the purposes of law enforcement. Recently
Saudi Arabia and India announced intentions to join the long list of
countries that have already banned SKYPE, joining Turkey, Pakistan, and
Egypt among many others across several continents. VoIP-Pal’s Lawful
Intercept was developed specifically to address the global demands of
governments to enable law enforcement agencies the ability to perform
live intercepts of VoIP communications. As the first patented technology
of its kind, VoIP-Pal’s Lawful Intercept stands alone as a vital tool
for law enforcement agencies around the world.
As a result of recent concerns over potential invasions of privacy due
to broad surveillance, Voip-Pal believes legislation for the provision
of lawful intercept with all forms of internet telephony could be
forthcoming. It is possible that the United States may take the lead in
such legislations.
