Amazon 1-Click Patent Survives Almost Unscathed
,----[ Quote ]
| Zordak writes "Amazon's infamous '1-click'
| patent has been in reexamination at the
| USPTO for almost four years. Patently-O now
| reports that 'the USPTO confirmed the
| patentability of original claims 6-10 and
| amended claims 1-5 and 11-26. The approved-
| of amendment adds the seeming trivial
| limitation that the one-click system
| operates as part of a 'shopping cart model.'
| Thus, to infringe the new version of the
| patent, an eCommerce retailer must use a
| shopping cart model (presumably non-1-click)
| alongside of the 1-click version. Because
| most retail eCommerce sites still use the
| shopping cart model, the added limitation
| appears to have no practical impact on the
| patent scope.'"

Patent attack hits Apple, RIM, AT&T, Moto...
,----[ Quote ]
| Apple, Research in Motion, and a gaggle of
| other deep-pocket firms have been slapped
| with a wide-ranging patent infringment suit
| by an obscure Texas firm.
|
| The suit alleges that Apple and RIM - plus
| AT&T, Insight Enterprises, LG Electronics,
| Motorola, Pantech Wireless, Samsung and
| Sanyo - are in violation of one or more of
| seven mobile phoneârelated patents. The
| allegedly infringed-upon patents include
| ones for Bluetooth connectivity, syncing,
| background processing and other mobile
| matters.

How Hard Is It To Realize That One-Click Buying Doesn't Deserve A Patent?
,----[ Quote ]
| Amazon and Jeff Bezos (who a decade ago was
| a founder of a project to bust bogus
| patents) have aggressively fought to keep
| the patent alive. And so we've now entered
| the fifth year of the review process, which
| seems to involve some rather annoyed USPTO
| patent examiners, who are fed up with what
| appears to be Amazon simply dumping
| busywork on the examiners to avoid a final
| rejection of the patent.
