Palm’s Location-based Advertising Patent App

The patent is titled “SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING ADVERTISEMENT DATA TO A MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE” and many think it’s behind the recent “find” that the Pre reports its location back to Palm. That made headlines last month even though users are told in the license it would happen.

The app was made public in August but was filed last year.
