SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 18 - A geography professor
at Hunter College in the City
University of New York on
August 18, 2023 sued a former
student for allegedly ripping
off her ideas for a database
and interface she said is
better than Google Maps.
The
complaint was filed in the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
which Inner City Press closely
covers and where it found the
complaint, just filed, in the
docket.
Hongmian
Gong says defendant Lerone
Savage was her student and
agreed that he would not share
the Project Information with
anyone nor use it for his
thesis without her consent -
but did, retaining a
"multimodal transportation
network database."
She wants an
injunction, and damages.
The case is
Gong v. Savage, 23-cv-0755
