Patent Office to Review Amazon Click Patent
From the Associated Press
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is reexamining Amazon.com Inc.’s patent for “one-click” online shopping at the request of a New Zealand actor who says he’s upset over slow book delivery.
Peter Calveley sought the reconsideration in documents filed in February, pointing out that a patent for similar technology was issued in March 1998, about 18 months before Amazon’s.
