USPTO Increases Scope Of Amazon's 1-Click Patent
,----[ Quote ]
| It apparently found its way into the hands of a sympathetic (and impatient)
| USPTO Examiner who had earlier defended his friends for approving 1-Click
| in the first place and referred 1-Click naysayers to a letter to the WSJ
| penned by the ex-Commissioner for Patents.

| The area of software patents is where you see most
| of the troll activity. Twenty years ago you weren't
| able to patent software. As a result of the dot com
| crash, you see software patents out there that are
| being bought up for no other purpose than to derive
| revenues from companies. These aren't inventors but
| are mostly lawyers and investors seeking a quick
| return. These patents in most cases are not being
| used to create products and innovation which is what
| our Founding Fathers had in mind when they
| established the patent system.
