VoIP-Pal.com Inc., a publicly traded NPE based in Washington state, has filed one suit against Apple (2:16-cv-00260) and another against both AT&T and Verizon (2:16-cv-00271), asserting the same two related patents (8,542,815; 9,179,005). The patents generally concern routing messages between private and public networks based on stored caller profiles. VoIP-Pal accuses Apple of infringement through the provision of its messaging services, including iMessage, and the NPE accuses the carriers of infringement through the provision of VoIP and messaging services (over both landline and wireless networks).
