nearmap patent for global strategy.. or?

I am no IP lawyer...

And personally wading through lodged legal documents sounds less fun to me than cutting my eyeballs with paper then pouring lemon juice into it.

So I will post a lodgement at WIPO that has recently been published...

...and see if someone with more expertice than me has any comments. It seems to be it is just putting the legal side of things in order before any global strategy is executed but it might be something else.
