CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – December 23, 2011 – M·CAM, Inc. released its Patently Obvious® report today on British Telecommunications v. Google.

Every so often, British Telecommunications initiates patent litigation that can have eccentric, almost wistful elements. BT engaged in that behavior back in 2000 when the telecommunications conglomerate claimed ownership of the hyperlink. This time, they are staking a claim to mobile GPS. Let’s see if the proof is in the Christmas pudding.

M·CAM’s Patently Obvious® is a weekly report providing visibility into potentially unconsidered alternatives, including art in the public domain, to patent holdings across a variety of technology areas.
