| Feb 14, 2014 at 12:34 | comment | added | user11347 | It's amazing that one company can waste the time of so many talented individuals with their trivial patent spam. And this is supposedly one of the most resourceful and talented companies on Earth. Imagine the low quality of the applications coming from the less resourceful patent spammers in the business. I find it amazing that our politicians can consider this system to be in any way beneficial to our economy. This is a farce. | |

| Dec 26, 2013 at 17:22 | comment | added | Carl Reed | George is correct. Potential prior art is any publicly available document with a publication date at least one year prior to the patent application. Check out isprs.org/publications/highlights/highlights0803/… a paper I wrote in 2003/2004 on possible prior art related to a web mapping patent. Much of the identified possible prior art is germane to the current Apple patent application. | |

| Dec 25, 2013 at 15:01 | comment | added | user7498 | This patent doesn't just affect GIS, 2007 to 2011 my team at Ordnance Survey converted our entire small scale map production to exactly the environment desrcribed in the patent, the printed map being a paper representation of what we created on the screen from our multiple data sources. Papers presented at ESRI UC 2007 and 2012. | |

Help give direction on what prior art can kill the map application

| Dec 20, 2013 at 15:52 | comment | added | Robert Tesla III | If you think about it, there goes all simulation products which use terrain based mapping data and impose navigation points, or even scenery models on top of a map. | |
| Dec 20, 2013 at 15:51 | comment | added | Robert Tesla III | This is a scary patent indeed. I see "method of suppressing" becoming more and more prominent across several patents. It appears that by excluding the obvious for various computing reasons, Apple and many others feel they can patent these methods. This would block all future innovation of any kind of GPS or mapping apps. GIS has been around since satellites were in space. Many, many, many applications have been developed which impose features on a map and suppress the outside information. | |

| Dec 19, 2013 at 20:35 | comment | added | jscarto | I'm also curious how they plan to differentiate between what is "the map" and what are "different layers." A map without layers would be a ground without figure; no such map has ever existed | |
| Dec 19, 2013 at 18:34 | comment | added | Bill Morris | Thousands of publications. There are entire academic journals that focus on this. | |

| Dec 19, 2013 at 18:10 | comment | added | George White♦ | Prior art is not just issued patents. Each application is judged on novelty and non-obvious relative to every the ever public at any time. That means "is it possible that no patents surrounding this technology have been issued before?" is not the right question. Patented or not, has this method been described in a publication before? | |
