| Item 1.01 | United States Patent and Trademark Office Issues NIRC for Patent on Its Technology |
Miami, FL – January 2014 - NETTALK.COM INC. (“netTALK”) (OTC:NTLK) announced today that it received a United States Patent Office (“USPTO”) Notice of Intent to Issue Ex Parte Reexamination Certificate (“NIRC”) for netTALK’s U.S. Patent Number 8,243,722. The NIRC signifies the termination of the reexamination and indicates that all three claims of the ‘722 Patent are deemed allowable by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). The three claims of the ‘722 Patent were minimally amended during the proceeding.
netTALK expects the reexamination certificate to be issued by the USPTO in due course. The reexamination was initiated by Daniel Borislow, former CEO of magicJack - VocalTec, Ltd. (“magicJack”) after the ‘722 Patent was issued. netTALK sued magicJack and other defendants on September 21, 2012, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida for infringement of the ‘722 Patent. That case has been stayed pending the outcome of the reexamination.
