T-Mobile USA sued over geolocation technology Aug 5th 2013, 13:53, by , IDG News Service Patent company Guidance IP has filed a complaint against T-Mobile USA for allegedly infringing a patent related to cell phone geolocation. The complaint has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, the residential jurisdiction for the headquarters of Harris Corporation, which originally owned the patent in question, according to North South Holdings, the parent of Guidance IP. This suit claims infringement of a patent called "System and method for determining the geolocation of a transmitter", which, in this case, relates to the location of cell phones on T-Mobile's network, North South said in a statement Monday. The geolocation patent is one of over 200 it acquired from Harris in 2012. The complaint against T-Mobile is the first based on them, but North South anticipates more, according to CEO Anthony Hayes.
