A patent company Geomas that claims to own location-based search is sewing Verizon. By the way he raised 20 million or so he claims.

This is related to search engines and is also on slashdot at http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/07/06/12/196234.shtml

By the way I'm looking for someone who is interested in a related search engine I'm developing.
