High Court in Singapore Rejects Map Infringement Appeal

The High Court dismissed the appeal made by Virtual Map (VM) against a recent District Court judgment that said its maps were basically copies of those from the Singapore Land Authority (SLA).

VM hopes to appeal again, but the court stated the appeal did not sufficiently explain why VM's maps contained SLA fingerprints including "fake" buildings.
