Voip Pal Com Inc (VPLM)

PATENTS OVERLY OBVIOUS, UNENFORCEABLE, AND PERHAPS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED?

The reason why is that the patents, IMHO, based on that wonderful "due diligence" term thrown around here, will likely crater to the "obvious" category in that given that natural progression in technology would have also led others such as Apple, Verizon, and so on, to come up with the same similar technology given the technology being used at the time.

There are THOUSANDS of related patents dating PRIOR to the Voip-Pal patents, and if any of VPLM's can be cited as previously in use, somewhere, by someone, prior to VPLM then game over. Further, a court could decide easily that the patents, while granted, are unenforceable for many reasons even such as the patent description not being worded correctly for instance. And with blunders that we've all seen in actual filings with Apple, well, you be the judge as to this possibility.

There are MANY cases of patents granted where they either shouldn't have been approved or were subsequently nullified. Or, better yet, left approved but made unenforceable in patent law due to the obviousness.

Since we have yet to see ANY shred of third party validation of these patents, after YEARS of development, and after global discussions, Fortune 500 companies, and world-renowned BOD with every connection in the book, that is a MAJOR concern in that there is zero interest in these patents and most likely for very good reason. How about those NODES and beta-tests?

Now I'm not saying this is a scam, but I'm saying there is generally a logical reason for where things stand. Either of the above scenarios could play out, and if so this ship is sunk. Add to that all of the other questionable pieces and that is the reason why so much doubt exists. This company, if it held the keys to the castle, should at a minimum hold some form of validation from a 3rd party. But hey, just my humble opinion.
