EU LBS Patent Could Mean Trouble
The European Patent Office has granted an EU-wide patent for the transmission of location-based information between devices and the subsequent publishing of that information for viewing on a map. That sounds pretty broad!
GeoSentric Oyj, the folks behing GyPSii, got the patent. After pinging the PR folks I learned: It’s Patent #EP1295500
“The original filing is under Benefon - to clarify that since the original filing, the company is now called GeoSentric and includes the TWIG product line and the core business of GyPSii. The Benefon name was changed to GeoSentric in mid 2007 and the intellectual property is used across the full company’s product lines.”
