Exhibit 99.1
Visual Real Estate, Inc. Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Google Inc.
Jacksonville, Florida – (MARKETWIRE) – March 17, 2014 – Visual Real Estate, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of California Gold Corp. (OTC QB: CLGL) and company founded by Jacksonville inventor and entrepreneur William Meadow, today announced that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Google Inc. in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The lawsuit claims infringement of three of Visual Real Estate’s patents: U.S. Patent number 7,389,181, entitled “Apparatus and Method for Producing Video Drive-By Data Corresponding to a Geographic Location”; U.S. Patent number 7,929,800, entitled “Methods and Apparatus for Generating a Continuum of Image Data”; and U.S. Patent number 8,078,396, entitled “Methods for and Apparatus for Generating a Continuum of Three Dimensional Image Data.” Among other things, the complaint identifies Google Street View and Google Earth as infringing Visual Real Estate’s patents. The case number is 3:14-cv-00274-TJC-PDB.
“We believe our patented technologies are some of the driving forces behind the demand for street-level imagery and online mapping,” said William Meadow, founder and CEO of Visual Real Estate. “Our inventions have made it faster, easier and less expensive to obtain street-level images with integrated location data, which has been a boon to many industries, including real estate, marketing, insurance, property development, tourism and recreation.”
Visual Real Estate is represented in the lawsuit by several San Diego and Tampa-based lawyers from DLA Piper, the world’s largest multi-national law firm.
