> on how they "acquiered" google maps aka terra vision

I think you're thinking of Google Earth, and wasn't that story made up for a movie?

edit: wiki says[1] there actually was a lawsuit the miniseries was based on, but the accuser lost because they had actually taken someone else's ideas for Terravision and then turned around and patented it?

I would not say it was made up, though.

Google engaged im negotiations to buy the patents.

And the software was presented in kioto in 1994, way before anyone else.
