Arlene McCarthy's software patent "factsheet"Arlene McCarthy's software patent "factsheet"Posted Sep 4, 2003 10:35 UTC (Thu) by cross (guest, #13601)Parent article: Arlene McCarthy's software patent "factsheet" Arlene McCarthy writes "Amazon's 'one-click' shopping would not be patentable under the terms of the parliament's proposals." That's as close to a flat-out lie as politicians dare tread. *That* particular patent was rejected, but it was then replaced with one *even broader* in scope, and clearly about business methods and not technological innovation. "The European Patent Office (EPO) in Munich has recently granted a patent to Amazon which covers all computerised methods of automatically delivering a gift to a third party. This patent is a descendant of the famous "Amazon One Click Patent" granted in the USA, but with a broader claim scope than the original US version."
