Amazon's "one-click shopping" patent became infamous both because it's trivial and because it's clearly a business method.

Status in various regions

Prior art

In response to Tim O'Reilly's $10,000 bounty for anyone who could find prior-art to invalidate the 1-click patent, contributors found existing patents on: [1]

  • 1-click TV shopping[2]
  • the use of a remote data terminal to place orders[3]
  • single-action ordering during radio broadcasts[4]

In 2006 Cordance Corp., who have an earlier patent that they claim covers the 1-click shopping idea, sued Amazon for patent infringement. The court case will take place in the second half of 2009.[5]
