Funny: September 2007 Archives
Ok, this is just a funny story in case you were following when Amazon patented they "one-click" check out, and later on when it was rejected. Now the rejection is rejected!
Amazon filed an appeal when USPTO decided to reject the patent application because the method was deemed "obvious". The case has been reviewed by three new USPTO examiners, and the result is that the new guys have "rejected the rejection". What they are saying is that they have not found the obviousness, and are asking the original examiner to explain, in a more obvious way, what he found so obvious in the application!
Ok, enough jokes, back to work...
