Amazon 1-Click patent decision upheld
Published: 24 Nov 2005 09:40 GMT
Amazon.com has won what could have been an embarrassing and expensive dispute over whether its 1-Click checkout system was patented by another company. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which hears patent appeals, on Monday upheld a lower court's grant of summary judgment to Amazon.
Amazon gained notoriety years ago for attempting to enforce its own 1-Click patent system against Barnes & Noble's Web operations. IPXL, which could try to seek Supreme Court review, claimed in the lawsuit that Amazon's 1-Click system was covered by a patent on electronic transactions.
