Google Wi-Fi LBS Patent Application May Find Challenges
Wi-Fi Network News explains that Google may not get the patents for which it recently applied because other companies, notably Wayport, may already have patents that cover the same ground. The Google patent, which I mentioned here last week, speaks to the delivery of ads based on location and other properties of a wireless hotspot. That’s pretty close to two patents held by Wayport. The current CEO would not reveal the company plans, but did say the company is in talks with some big players about it patents.
