He was issued another significant patent in 2007 for a 3D computer mouse. He has also filed for several other US and Indian patent applications. His recent patent is for a high torque electric motor.

Pal is not a qualified designer or engineer. After dropping out of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in 1982, he took to prototyping in electronics, which was his hobby. He designed a DXing radio receiver when he was 14, which never worked; however, he designed his own circuit and made all the PCBs himself.

He did freelance projects for companies such as Maruti Udyog, Honda, the National Institute for the Visually Handicapped, Dehradun, and Duracell (now a part of Global Gillette). Afterwards, he turned his attention to inventions. His concept for a personal mobility vehicle (PMV) for the common man, a diwheel vehicle, is ready to go to the prototype development stage and Pal has been trying to get companies interested in it, so far with little success.
