(“Voip-Pal,” the “Company”) (OTCQB:VPLM) is pleased to announce that on November 18, 2016 the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) denied on all grounds a petition for Inter Partes Review (“IPR”), IPR2016-01082, filed by Unified Patents Inc. against Voip-Pal’s Routing, Billing and Rating Patent (“RBR”), Patent No. 8,542,815 (“815”)

The PTAB ruled, “…upon consideration of the Petition and the Preliminary Response, we conclude that the information presented does not show a reasonable likelihood that Petitioner would prevail in establishing the unpatentability of any of claims 1, 2, 7, 27– 29, 34, 54, 72–74, 92, 93, and 111 of the ’815 patent.”
