Amazon one-click patent rejected by US Patent Office
Due to a claim filed by a third party, the USPTO has rejected a broad swath of Amazon's one-click patent:
In its Office Action released 9 October 2007, the Patent Office found that the prior art I found and submitted completely anticipated the broadest claims of the patent, U.S. Patent No. 5,960,411.
I had only requested the USPTO look at claims 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21 and 22 but the Office Action rejects claims 11-26 and claims 1-5 as well!
