Gopher Protocol Announces: Completion of Mapping Program, Which Traces the Guardian Patch in Real-Time Commencement of Field Tests on Guardian Patch in Central North America Designation of a European Support Team for Epsilon Mobile Green EDA Software

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - May 10, 2016) - Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH) ("Gopher" and the "Company"), a development-stage Company which specializes in real-time, heuristic-based mobile technology, and its partner, Guardian Patch LLC, announced today that they have completed the Company's mapping program, which traces the Guardian Patch on existing mapping systems. Users of the patch will be able to trace the patch on common mapping services like Google, Yahoo, and Bing in real time.

The Company has already commenced its field tests for transmitting and receiving signals in central North America. After successfully completing stage one of range testing of the Guardian Patch wireless system, the Company will continue to expand its wireless system field testing in both crowded urban and open areas within the United States.

The Company and its partner, Gopher Epsilon Corp. (to be formed), have designated an engineering team in Europe to supervise and develop technical support services as the Company enters a software evaluation license agreement.  As previously announced by the Company on March 16, 2016, the Company's Epsilon Mobile Green EDA Software is an internal proprietary platform that has been developed as a tool designated for the mobile industry to accelerate integrated circuit designs with interactive error detection and correction. The software is targeted to assist microchip designers to produce integrated circuits with faster performance, self-heat optimization and longer life spans. The goal of the software is to significantly prolong battery life while reducing microchip heat, which will enable electronic devices to provide longer operation time with overall faster performance time.

Gopher has granted a temporary license to a third party vendor on a non-exclusive, royalty-free basis to use the Epsilon Mobile EDA Software and related materials (the "Licensed Technology") for the purpose of evaluating the Licensed Technology internally. There is no obligation on the part of the third party licensee to buy, lease, or otherwise acquire any ownership interest in, or pay any compensation for a license to use, the Licensed Technology for the evaluation period. Gopher's new European division will provide technical support to the third party licensee for the Licensed Technology during the evaluation period.

The Guardian Patch, potentially arriving in consumer markets in 2017, is a unique location technology that works with or without GPS. The patch is a stick-on device that provides its users with the capability to protect and track objects, a loved-one or even a pet, via a mobile application.
