Late last month in federal court, a St Louis man who graduated from Washington University in the 1970s filed a lawsuit against the City of St. Louis alleging that their ParkLouie mobile parking system uses technology for which he holds the patent. Attorneys Chuck McCloskey (no relation to Mark) and Chris Swiecicki, who are representing Gil Bashani's company Parking World Wide, say that the patent is on a "parking status system" that determines if a parking space is occupied by a motorist who hasn't paid, in which case the system sends out an alert to law enforcement or parking attendants.
