In the Utah Action, the Plaintiffs assert that at least two products of Nearmap, both of which are separate and distinct products from GAF’s QuickMeasure roof reports, infringe the Plaintiffs’ patents, “including (1) Nearmap on OpenSolar and (2) MapBrowser.” [Id. at 2 ¶ 1.] GAF maintains that the District of Utah is the more convenient venue for the Case 1:21-cv-10669-RMB-SAK Document 65 Filed 03/28/22 present infringement action, arguing that the software behind its Accused Product was developed entirely outside of New Jersey through a partnership between GAF, Nearmap, and another Minnesota-based entity known as “Pushpin”: GAF does not make QuickMeasure reports, did not design or develop any of the QuickMeasure oftware, and has never maintained or controlled any of the QuickMeasure oftware. Instead, QuickMeasure reports are generated through a partnership between Utah-based Nearmap . . . and Minnesota-based Primitive LLC (d/b/a Pushpin) (hereafter “Pushpin”). QuickMeasure reports are white-labeled by GAF, but GAF’s role is essentially limited to sales and marketing of those reports. Looks like GAF uses a Nearmap / Pushpin partnership to produce Quickmeasure roofing reports similar to those Eagleview produces with Pictometry software. Therefore, if the calculation used to produce these reports is deemed patented and unique and sitting with Eagleview, the QuickMeasure reports would also violate the patent. Please correct me if I am interpreting this incorrectly as I work in the Medical Imaging sector not Aerial Imaging and definitely not Law....

So Eagleview are "casting a wide net"... Makes it look like an even more of a cynical attempt to stop Nearmap taking market share by targeting Nearmap's customers.
