Unfounded allegations of patent infringement

PCI-PAL PLC (AIM: PCIP), the global cloud provider of secure payment solutions for business communications, notes the press release from its competitor Semafone Limited that it has filed a lawsuit in both the UK and US relating to alleged patent infringements by PCI Pal.

The Directors strongly refute the claims being made by Semafone and believe that the Semafone claims have no basis. As a technology company, PCI Pal has consistently obtained specialist patent legal advice (both within the UK and US) and is wholly confident that no patent infringement is taking place.  PCI Pal will defend itself robustly against all allegations of patent infringement.
