There were many recaps of 2007 (including our "Year in Review" podcast and thoughts on the matter from insiders) so she's tried to pick out some items that were more subtle, more hidden, for this list.

Judge Denies Request in Real Estate Mapping Class Action Motion
An explanation from a reader on this real estate mapping patent case.

"... The crux of any patent litigation boils down to the validity of the patent. The legal dialogue will focus on the essential claims documented in the patent. The defendant will try to prove that the claims are not new or inventive but are "obvious". On the other side, the folks bringing the lawsuit must prove that these are valid claims and are therefore being infringed. ..."
- Carl, GIS Professional
