A Florida firm has filed a claim alleging that Google and Apple are both infringing on its mapping technology, PaidContent reported
on Monday. PanoMap Technologies filed the complaint in an Orlando
federal court, stating the use of Google Maps “Street View” feature in
the iPad and iPhone violates U.S. Patent No. 6,563,529. The patent
covers an “interactive system for displaying detailed view and direction
in panoramic images.” The company wants Apple and Google to pay triple
damages, asserting that the two tech giants knew about the patent but
had ignored it. To support its allegations, PanoMap claims that Apple
visited a website that showcased the patent in 2007 and Google cited the
patent in its own recent patent application. The Google Maps Street
View function allows users to zoom in and see an interactive photograph
of houses, street corners and more. The patent was issued in 2003 and
transferred to a shell company called Empire IP last year. In early
February it was again transferred to PanoMap Technologies. The patent
describes a technique to adjust a camera position from place to place
and include it in a map image.
