VoIP-Pal.Com, a provider of international calls using VoIP technology on the internet and smartphones, has completed the Digifonica share purchase acquisition, which was announced on December 2012. With this, VoIP-Pal has added five major VoIP patents owned by Digifonica to its intellectual property portfolio. The acquisition covers complete portfolio of issued and pending patents. The former’s patent portfolio consists of one issued patent and four pending, which are in the final stages awaiting approval.


On January 18 2013, Digifonica was issued its first patent, Lawful Intercept (LI). The remaining patents are Rating Billing and Routing (RBR), Mobile Gateway (News - Alert) (MG), Enhanced 911, and Advanced Interoperability Solutions.

Dennis Chang, CEO of VoIP-Pal.Com, said “This is a monumental accomplishment for both VoIP-Pal and Digifonica. We have enjoyed a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Digifonica in our joint efforts to bring this patent portfolio to fruition. The completion of this partnership is an exciting step forward as we continue to work together in the rapidly expanding VoIP industry.”

Last year, both the parties signed an agreement to complete a share purchase acquisition of Digifonica Gibraltar and all of its assets and patent portfolio. Digifonica Gibraltar is now a wholly owned subsidiary of VoIP-Pal.Com.

Recently, VoIP-Pal.Com was in new for appointing Professor Ed Candy to the company’s Board of Directors. Professor Candy has served as the Technology Director of Hutchison 3G (News - Alert), where he introduced enterprise and IP systems and architectures into the cellular networks. He has also worked as group development director for Simoco from 1996 to 2000, and technology director for Orange (News - Alert).

In addition, VoIP-Pal.Com also added Dr. Colin Tucker, the former Director and CEO of Hutchison 3G to its board. Dr. Tucker has an extensive background in mobile technology, previously acting as the chairman of UIQ Technology (News - Alert), which developed the user interface on Nokia phones, and has experience in interfacing people with computer displays. He has also directed the manufacture of antennas and mobile handset chips.
