EX-99.1 3 exhibit99-1_14515.txt PRESS RELEASE DATED JULY 31, 2006 EXHIBIT 99.1 ------------ IVOICE COMPLETES SALE OF SELECTED PATENTS PROCEEDS OF TRANSACTION TO BE USED TO REPAY COMPANY INDEBTEDNESS MATAWAN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE) - July 31 - iVoice, Inc. (OTCBB: IVOI), announced today that it has completed the sale of certain United States Letters Patents and/or applications for United States Letters Patents and/or foreign patents and applications to Lamson Holdings LLC. The patents and/or patent applications sold relate to various Voice Activated/Voice Responsive systems developed by iVoice, including item locators for retail stores utilizing various unique identifying, data gathering and organizing, as well as user feedback techniques. Proceeds from the sale will be used to pay down some of the Company's indebtedness to Cornell Capital after paying a commission to GlynnTech, Inc. which served as iVoice's licensing agent and assisted in the sale of the patents. "The sale of certain assets of our intellectual property demonstrates the significant value we have created in our portfolio of technologies," said iVoice Chairman and CEO Jerry Mahoney. "We will continue to seek ways to maximize shareholder value through the development of technologies that are core to our business strategy and sell or those license those technologies that we choose not to pursue." About iVoice, Inc. iVoice has determined that the best way to create shareholder value, separate and apart from the operating performance of iVoice, is to implement new business opportunities by distributing shares of spin-offs to the Company's shareholders. The common stock distributions are part of a broader strategy relating to the transition of iVoice into a company focused on the development and licensing of proprietary technologies. We also continue to search for potential merger candidates with or without compatible technology and products, which management feels may offer long term growth prospects to increase shareholder value.
