Coutts, an Olympic gold medalist and America's Cup winner, said he believed his companies had owned the graphic patent since 2010. Today Taylor - who says he originally designed the graphics in 1992 and is the rightful owner - pulled his Virtual Eye Live graphic feature in protest at Coutts. He said his company "totally disputes" Coutts' claim. The graphics in question cover such things as superimposed borders defining the race course, lines on the water and sponsorship names.
