`AT&T for Various Patent Infringements
`
`February 11, 2016 05:00 AM Eastern Standard Time
`
`BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Voip-Pal.com, Inc. (“Voip-Pal” or “Company”) (OTC Pink: VPLM) announced today that,
`on February 9, 2016, the Company filed suit against Apple, Inc., in the United States District Court, District of Nevada case
`number 2:16-CV-00260. On February 10, 2016, the Company filed suit against Verizon Wireless Services, LLC, Verizon
`Communications Inc., AT&T, Inc., and AT&T Corp. in the United States District Court, District of Nevada, case number 2:16-cv-
`00271.
`
`The complaints allege infringement by Apple, Verizon and AT&T of various claims of Voip-Pal’s patents. In the complaints, the
`Company seeks damages totaling over $7 billion.
`
`Voip-Pal has spent 13 years and millions of dollars developing its portfolio of technologies and related intellectual property. The
`Company has taken legal action in order to protect its intellectual property and the interests of its shareholders.
`
`Highlights from a Q&A regarding the Company’s legal action are included below. Further information and the full Q&A regarding
`the Company’s legal action, can be viewed on the Company website at Voip-Pal Q&A.
`
`• Apple, Verizon and AT&T were regrettably unwilling to engage in discussion of licensing the
`Company’s intellectual property and technology.
`
`• Digifonica/Voip-Pal began designing its communications routing system in 2004, at the
`beginning of the internet communications explosion. At that time, the company had the vision
`that the Internet would one day become the dominant form of telecommunications capable of
`business and personal uses that would expand its impact and utility dramatically.
`
`• Voip-Pal designed, built and tested super-nodes and nodes in Canada, England, and Norway,
`spending more than $17 million on development and execution in the process. The Company
`had at one point more than twenty (20) engineers working on the software design and
`implementation.
`
`• Every day, billions of calls, messages and payments are made (using existing applications,
`products and services) that utilize Voip-Pal’s patented technology. Further, given the current
`preferred method of routing Internet-based communications, which classifies calls using the
`Company’s “caller attributes,” the Company believes that its patents are not limited solely to
`mobile devices.

`

`
`• The Company has prepared royalty monetization analyses in order to assess past damages.
`These analyses utilize a royalty rate of one and one quarter percent (1.25%) of apportioned
`profits of infringing devices and services, which is over 87% less than the weighted average
`of analyzed court-awarded damages and settlement rates. The royalty monetization for
`Apple, Verizon and AT&T at the conservative 1.25% royalty rate totals over $7.024
`billion.
